1910's The Exotic Peasant Art Cubism Art Deco Classicism Streamlining Sportswear Accessories

 

Many graphic artists worked in several related fields, such as textile design and fashion illustration. Charles Martin, André Marty, Paul Iribe, George Barbier, and others were able to adapt their own styles and aesthetic ideals to the needs of the manufacturers for whom they worked. This fabric is reminiscent of a Barbier fashion illustration, but seems calculated to appeal to a conservative client.
