LA VIE PARISIENNE LOVE


I have always loved the Art Deco style of illustration, the drama and fashion, particularly the flapper style characters and their elaborate costumes and headpieces (plus they were usually quite saucy gals). I find the strong graphic pattern and limited colour palette contrasting with the fluid shapes of lithe bodies very beautiful - Illustrators like CHARLES MARTIN whose work appeared in the very popular French magazine LA VIE PARISIENNE (banned in Belgium, censored in America).

  1. Great selection here. You're right, the fluidity of these figures is so entrancing.
