EDITORS COMMENTS
The Theorbo Player, design for an evening coat by Paquin, 1920s (colour litho) captures the essence of elegance and artistic flair that defined the roaring twenties. This stunning print by Georges Barbier showcases a stylish woman adorned in a French fashion masterpiece, designed by Paquin. The female figure exudes sophistication as she stands against a backdrop of oriental wallpaper, adding an exotic touch to the composition. With her delicate features and graceful posture, she embodies the epitome of art deco beauty. Intriguingly, instead of holding a traditional instrument like a violin or piano, our muse holds a mandolin-like lute called theorbo. This unexpected choice adds an element of intrigue and highlights her musical prowess. The intricate details on both the coat and wallpaper showcase Barbier's exceptional talent as an illustrator. The chinoiserie patterns on the wallpaper add depth to the scene while paying homage to French culture's fascination with Eastern aesthetics during this period. This artwork is not just about fashion; it is also about celebrating art itself. The music stand beside our protagonist symbolizes creativity and artistic expression in all its forms. Overall, this print encapsulates the glamour and allure of 1920s haute couture combined with Barbier's unique artistic vision. It serves as a testament to his contribution to France's rich cultural heritage.
