Eventails 1924

"Eventails" by George Barbier, created in 1924, is a striking Art Deco illustration depicting a fashionable gathering. The piece captures the elegance and sophistication of the era, with stylishly dressed men and women adorned with intricate jewelry and feathers. Barbier’s masterful use of line and color gives a sense of movement and energy to the scene, and the flattened forms and geometric patterns are characteristic of Art Deco style. The central figures are engaged in conversation, while those around them observe with an air of nonchalance. The overall scene is reminiscent of a grand soirée, where the socialites mingle and enjoy the finer things in life.
