Georges Lepape
1887-1971
Arguably one of the most underappreciated
Art Deco
artists,
Georges Lepape
was a French author whose fabulous pieces of painted
portraiture
represent a true milestone in the relationship of fashion and visual arts. Unlike many of his contemporary colleagues, this painter's artworks were heavily impacted by the aspects of
Orientalism
, Persian miniatures and the popular theater aesthetics of the
Ballet Russes
. Lepape's life story was a true journey that saw him start with humble beginnings as an illustrator for Paul Poiret and eventually reaching heights by becoming one of the most famous fashion illustrators, primarily working for
Vogue
