Christian Brard: Eccentric Modernist Bernasconi Clia
Painter, illustrator, decorator, and tastemaker Christian B rard was a central figure in the creative heart of Paris when art and fashion in the city mingled at their apex.Christian B rard (1902-1949) was a multidisciplinary artist whose talents can't be associated with a single school or style; his work sheds irreducible light onto his era, which continues to captivate today. He lived passionately and sought out enchantment in all forms--from high society to city life, fashion to theater, and stage-set design to interiors. B rard painted ethereal figures and sublimated his high-fashion illustrations with a sharp and witty hand.
He lived with the Russian poet, dancer, and librettist Boris Kochno, collaborated with creative powerhouses such as Jean-Michel Frank, Christian Dior, George Balanchine, and Elsa Schiaparelli, and designed rugs by Cogolin for Nelson Rockefeller.
