Description

A modernized adaptation of Le Jour et la Nuit, after George Barbier. Two poised women personify Day and Night in ivory and midnight-black evening gowns. A deep crimson background and delicate flowering branches give this Art Deco canvas print its theatrical contrast.

Day and Night in contrasting evening gowns

Day stands in a luminous champagne-ivory dress with a high ruffled collar, an ornate gold-toned headdress and a blush floral accent. Night turns toward the viewer in flowing dark silk, a feathered headpiece and a sweeping embroidered hem. Warm light and rich folds make the two silhouettes distinct without losing the elegance of their shared composition.

Le Jour et la Nuit by George Barbier, reinterpreted

The reference is Barbier’s Le Jour et la Nuit / France XXe siècle, published in Falbalas et Fanfreluches, the fashion almanac for 1922. Art Deco Polis modernizes the faces, fabrics, embroidery and lighting, blending the historical decorative arrangement with the painterly character of its Women collection. This is a contemporary adaptation, rather than a faithful facsimile of the original print.

Crimson, ivory and black for a composed interior

The portrait format offers a strong focal point above a console or within a reading corner. Pair it with restrained black furniture, warm ivory fabrics or a muted burgundy accent to echo the two gowns and their background. The gold tones, embroidery and painted surface are represented within the printed image.

Picture it on your wall

  1. Measure the space. Include the furniture below it, nearby doors and any other artwork.
  2. Mark the outline. Use paper or removable painter's tape to show the width and height, checking that it is suitable for your wall finish.
  3. Step back. View the outline from where you normally sit or enter the room. Leave enough space around it for the composition to feel comfortable.

A smaller canvas can work as an accent or within a group. A larger canvas gives the artwork more presence on an open wall. Room photographs are styling references; use the listed dimensions when planning the fit.
Canvas details

A matte canvas print with a non-glossy surface, stretched over an internal wooden frame for a finished, dimensional look.

  • Canvas: a cotton and polyester blend.
  • Construction: an internal radiata pine frame, 1.25 inches deep.
  • Printed sides: mirrored edges carry the artwork around the canvas while keeping the front composition intact.
  • Hanging: a rear attachment is included, with small rubber pads at the back for support. Use wall fixings suited to your wall.

Care: gently remove dust with a clean cloth that is only slightly damp.

Finish and frame: the canvas wraps around its internal wooden stretcher; no decorative outer frame is included. Gold and metallic-looking tones are printed color, not metal foil or leaf.

Dimensions: all sizes are width × height. Small variations of up to 1/8 inch can occur during production.
