George Barbier (1882-1932) was one of the greatest French artists of the early 20th century. He was one of the most celebrate art decor artists and especially excelled in illustrating the human figure. He first exhibited in 1911 at the age of 29 where he gained many commissions to design costumes and illustrate works, fashion in particular. Barbier led a group nicknamed by Vogue "The Knights of the Bracelet" formed from artists from the Ecole des Beaux Arts and including Monvel, Brissaud, Iribe, Lepape, and Martin.
