"Created by the Art Deco master of fashion illustration, George
Barbier, through the employment of the pochoir technique, the sumptuous
fashion plates, in addition to offering beautiful works of illustration,
give viewers a peek into the development of art, fashion, and design
at a time when society was changing significantly and rapidly. Barbier
imbued his images with a luxury and decadence that has come to exemplify
Art Deco's Golden Age. The illustrations testify as to how trends
and movements within the fine arts, such as Orientalism, Cubism, Futurism,
and Abstract art, had a profound influence on the decorative arts
during this time." (Pratt Institute Fashion Plate Collection)
Pochoir, French for stencil, defines a technique of print making
popular in France in the early 1900s. It is a labor intensive process
of applying brilliant color by hand using a series of cutout stencils.
Each plate is an original print using up to thirty stencils in one
image. All are hand colored and most are signed in the plate by the
illustrator.
