The Fire
1922-1926
Signed and dated 1925, this piece by George Barbier captures the height of Jazz Age glamour in the distinctive Art Deco style. A chic couple reclines on a balcony, bathed in the glow of cascading fireworks that perfectly mirror the bold floral patterns on the woman's lavish gown. Barbier was a leading figure in the Art Deco movement and part of a fashionable group of artists known as 'The Knights of the Bracelet.' The scene feels like a romantic snapshot from a F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, showcasing the sleek lines and opulent style of the era.
