Homage to a Prêt-à-porter Painter

George Barbier's haute couture art deco fashion illustrations are as timeless and awe-inspiring today as they were when he first created them.

Last year I had a calendar featuring his work and my new 2006 cheesy birds calendar printed by the Audobon Society just isn't the same. But then, how could I really compare the two?

Barbier was a peer of one of my other favorite Frenchies -- Erté. Although there are similarities between their work and their mutual influence is apparent, if I had to choose, I suppose I would have to say I prefer Barbier. Don't you?
