The use of color, line and especially white space is extraordinary in its impact and lyricism George Barbier was a painter and illustrator whose first love was the theater in general and dance in particular.

The use of color, line and especially of white space is extraordinary in its impact and lyricism. It is strong, tense and, above all, sure.
