farewell, good hunter
The Cat and the Comma

George Barbier (1882–1932) was one of the great French illustrators of the early 20th century and one of the creators of Art Deco style. He was 29 years old when he mounted his first exhibition in 1911 and was subsequently swept to the forefront of his profession with commissions to design theatre and ballet costumes, to illustrate books, and to produce haute couture fashion illustrations. For the next 20 years Barbier led a group from the Ecole des Beaux Arts who were nicknamed by Vogue “The Knights of the Bracelet"—a tribute to their fashionable and flamboyant mannerisms and style of dress.
