From: Les choses de Paul Poiret vues par Georges Lepape. 1st plate in the presentation. Limited to 1000 copies. Pub. Maquet Paris. 1911. Georges Lepape (1887-1971) is widely recognized as one of the foremost illustrators of the Art Deco movement, standing alongside notable figures such as Barbier and Erté.
His career experienced a significant boost following his work on *Les choses de Paul Poiret*, which opened new avenues for his artistic expression. Lepape’s influence extended across various artistic domains, including theater, fashion, film, and literature.
From approximately 1916 onward, he contributed illustrations for the covers of *Vogue*, where his unique blend of whimsicality and elegance in fashion illustration became a defining characteristic of the magazine until the 1930s.
