At the Lido
1924
Imagine the ultimate 1920s beach party, but make it high fashion. George Barbier’s 'Au Lido' transports us to the glamorous sands of the Venice Lido, where bathers sport sleek swimsuits and colorful caps that look more like runway accessories than swim gear. The tall woman holding the parasol commands the scene like a statue, surrounded by lounging figures in a perfectly balanced Art Deco composition. Barbier, a leading fashion illustrator of his time, captures the Jazz Age obsession with leisure and looking absolutely fabulous while doing it.
