About Erte:
Erte, whose real name was Romain de Tirtoff, was a highly influential Russian-born artist and designer known for his significant contributions to the Art Deco movement. He was born on November 23, 1892, in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and later became a French citizen. Erte's pseudonym comes from the French pronunciation of his initials, "R.T."
He was a versatile artist with talents spanning various artistic mediums, including fashion design, costume design, jewelry, set design, graphic arts, and more. He gained widespread fame for his elegant and glamorous fashion illustrations that epitomized the Art Deco style.
During the 1920s and 1930s, Erte's work became synonymous with the luxurious and opulent aesthetics of the Art Deco era. He worked for Harper's Bazaar, where his illustrations appeared regularly on the magazine's covers and within its pages, becoming iconic representations of the era's fashion and lifestyle.
Erte's designs often featured elongated and sinuous figures, draped in flowing garments and adorned with geometric patterns, feathers, and bold motifs. He drew inspiration from a variety of sources, including classical Greek and Roman art, Egyptian art, and Oriental motifs, which he blended with a modernist sensibility.
In addition to his fashion illustrations, Erte was also renowned for his work in theater and film. He created elaborate and stunning costume and set designs for productions on both stage and screen, collaborating with renowned performers and directors of his time.
Throughout his long and illustrious career, Erte continued to create art and designs that transcended the boundaries of the Art Deco period. Even after the decline of the Art Deco movement, his work remained highly sought after, and he continued to produce new pieces until his passing.
Erte's artistic legacy lives on, and his contributions to the world of art and design continue to be celebrated and admired by art enthusiasts and collectors alike. His influence can still be seen in contemporary art and fashion, making him a timeless and cherished figure in the history of the decorative arts. See less
