George Barbier
La Belle Dame Sans Merci
Pochoir
This a hand-coloured pochoir print from La Gazette Du Bon Ton, Issue #6 (1921) Plate 47. Barbier shows his appreciation for the fantastical element of the 1920's and pays homage to the Chinese influence in Art Deco. He underscores the new emerging sense of female power, independance and equality with her scorching gaze. No-one is going to successfully challenge the path of the New Woman!
