Details: Explore the glamour of the iconic Art Deco world created by French artist George Barbier in this unique educational coloring book for adults. Discover the beauty of Barbier’s lines, color, and composition. The forty hand-drawn reproductions of Barbier’s artworks are distinguished by the varying line thickness—which provides the colorist with richer images and depth not found in standard coloring books. The carefully curated coloring pages allow the artist to replicate in color the vibrancy of the simplified lines, curved contours, and geometric patterns that are the hallmarks of the Art Deco age. The coloring book showcases some of Barbier’s seminal compositions that are certain to challenge colorists to experiment with lines, colors, and shading. Every coloring page is a complete composition worthy of display. This distinctive collection of professionally drawn line art will inspire you to experiment with applying and combining colors that produce different lighting effects. Use different techniques from stippling with tiny dots to cross-hatching, to create texture and density. Inspired by the magic of the theater, Barbier’s illustrations, like his set productions for stage, contrast dark backdrops with colorful, sumptuous costumes. Art Deco enthusiasts and colorists will enjoy Barbier’s illustrations of high fashion in the Roaring Twenties—immortalized by the flappers and the chic life-style portrayed in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. Go back in time with the man who dresses dreams and recreate his Art Deco illustrations of women’s and men’s fashions that graced the covers of Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Harper’s Bazaar using your own color palette. . Tour the world with Barbier, coloring travel posters and illustrations that will transport you to the beauty of exotic foreign lands in Egypt, Persia, Greece, India, Russia, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. Relax and reduce stress by coloring your next imaginary vacation and immerse yourself in sensuous images of love. This deluxe color edition will be followed by a black and white version with only line drawings.
