About the artist:

Erte, born Romain de Tirtoff (1892 - 1990), was a Russian-born French artist and designer, widely recognized for his glamorous and theatrical designs across various fields including fashion, jewelry, graphic arts, costume, and set design for film, theatre, and opera.

Erte moved to Paris at the age of 20, and his unique and exotic designs quickly gained him recognition in the fashion world. He began his career with Harper’s Bazaar magazine, where he worked for over 22 years, creating over 200 covers. His illustrious career in fashion saw him designing for many of the era’s most renowned couturiers, including Paul Poiret.

Erte’s style, often referred to as Art Deco, is characterized by sleek and anti-naturalistic shapes, often using vibrant, bold colors. His work is marked by a sense of glamour and sophistication, with an emphasis on symmetry and stylized sensuousness. Erte’s timeless designs continue to influence the world of fashion and design, and his art is showcased in major museum collections worldwide.
