L’Arc Rouge 1914

"L’Arc Rouge" (1914) by George Barbier is a striking example of Art Deco illustration. The image depicts a stylishly dressed woman in a green jacket and striped skirt, preparing to shoot an arrow with a red bow. A winged child carrying a quiver of arrows stands beside her. Barbier's use of bold lines, geometric shapes, and vibrant colors evokes the opulence and sophistication of the era. The design's stylized figures and decorative motifs reflect the Art Deco movement's emphasis on elegance and geometric abstraction.
