Paul\u00a0Iribe, a graphic designer and satirical illustrator, has influenced both top-end fashion designers as well as the public\u2019s opinion in times of political disenchantment. Satire,\u00a0simplicity and aesthetic design can best describe his oeuvre, which illustrates the fiascos of the French politics, the distress of WWI and the elegant flamboyance of the following a<\/em>nn\u00e9es<\/em>\u00a0folles<\/em>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Inspired by contemporary political events,\u00a0Iribe\u00a0created powerful, and sometimes violent, images filled with dark surfaces of black ink on white paper, such as demonstrated in\u00a0L’Arrestation<\/em>. The simple details \u2013\u00a0Iribe’s\u00a0signature style \u2013 in the\u00a0gendarme’s<\/em>\u00a0uniform and the\u00a0small figures show the forceful arrest of two high ranked men. Almost strangled to death, the man in the gendarmes gigantic hand attempts to protest, whilst the other is being dragged hastily, with great fear in his eyes.\u00a0The originality of Iribe is his use of collage, specially for the press illustration field. Through this technique, he achieved to increase the strong contrast of his compositions, and create image with powerful visual impact.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Attracted to art from an early age,\u00a0Iribe\u00a0was an autodidact who\u00a0did not frequent any artist studio or decorative arts school. Instead, he took on a typography apprenticeship at the daily journal\u00a0Le Temps<\/em>, where he would work as an editor.[1]<\/a>\u00a0This practice gave\u00a0Iribe\u00a0the fundamentals of journalism, thereby teaching him the aesthetic principles of composition, layout and conciseness in information. His satirical drawings would demonstrate this acquired mastery. His early cartoons, at the age of seventeen, already exhibited his taste for an original layout and provided regular collaborations with magazines such as\u00a0Journal de Paris, Le\u00a0<\/em>Sourire<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0L’assiette<\/em>\u00a0au Beurre<\/em>, quickly ranking him amongst the best humourists of his time, while maintaining a strong critical look at the French society.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Iribe\u00a0would continue to create political cartoons throughout his life \u2013 he established his own journal\u00a0Le\u00a0<\/em>T\u00e9moin<\/em>\u00a0between 1906 and 1910 \u2013, but would diverge to decorative arts from 1908 onwards, creating\u00a0mundane\u00a0fashion illustrations for the renowned designer Paul\u00a0Poiret[2]<\/a>, producing opulent decors for theatre plays and Hollywood movies, and designing lavish jewellery with his muse and lover Coco Chanel.<\/p>\n

[2]<\/a> In October 1908 a fashion album came out called Les robes de Paul Poiret racont\u00e9es par Paul Iribe<\/em>. The finely lined drawings filled in with the pochoir technique was so different to contemporary fashion catalogues, that Iribe’s new style of illustrating fashion would inspire other draughtsmen like Lepape, Martin, Barbier and Marty.
