About the Item
This beautiful book is a celebration of one of the truly original, daring and bravura talents of the decorative arts in the Paris of the 1930s and 1940's. Berard's sets and costumes for the ballet, the theatre and films stylish, full of fantasy and marvellous colour won him international acclaim. His fashion illustrations for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar captured the essence and elegance of French couture. His screens, murals and interior designs made him a sought-after collaborator by the best decorators of the day. Berard illustrated countless theatrical programmes and posters, as well as books by many of his intimate friends, including Colette Cocteau and Gertrude Stein.
What has been given slight consideration is Berard's work as a painter. From the mid-1920s when he emerged as the leading light of the anti-surrealist artists Berard never stopped painting, mostly portraits of depth and character.
A memoir by Berard's long-time friend Boris Kochno reveals the warm, charming and irresistible man affectionately known as Bebe and provides a luminous overview of his work. John Russell, chief art critic of the New York Times, has written an evocative introduction specially for this edition. Beautifully produced and illustrated, this is the definitive book on Berard. With 455 illustrations 202 in colour. 255 pages. 2010 grams.
