Le Bonheur du jour ou Les Grâces à la mode

FIRST EDITION. Limited to 300 copies, all on Arches vellum paper.

Perfectly preserved copy, enhanced with the ORIGINAL SKETCH by Barbier in pencil and India ink, with watercolor highlights.

An absolute masterpiece and a jewel of Art Deco, Le Bonheur du jour ou Les Grâces à la modebrings together the elegance and refined sensuality characteristic of George Barbier, an emblematic artist of the Roaring Twenties. Published in Paris in 1924, this collector's item celebrates the modern woman in all her grace: slender silhouettes, delicate fabrics, gestures sketched with an ethereal charm.

Each plate, sumptuously colored with stencils, unfolds a world of fashion and poetry where light seems to glide over fabrics and gazes. A dazzling testament to French taste and a hymn to feminine grace and the art of living of the 1920s, printed in a small number – even rarer when enhanced with an original drawing – it constitutes a small treasure of bibliophilia destined for aesthetes.
