About The Artist: Born Romain de Tirtoff, Erté became internationally renowned for his glamorous Art Deco fashion illustrations produced for Harper's Bazaar between 1915 and 1937. His designs defined the visual language of the Art Deco era and influenced fashion, theatre, costume design, and graphic arts throughout the twentieth century. During the late 1970s and 1980s, Erté collaborated with leading publishers to produce a series of highly sought-after signed limited-edition lithographs and serigraphs, reintroducing his iconic Art Deco imagery to a new generation of collectors. Today Erté’s work remains among the most recognizable expressions of Art Deco design, and his signed graphic editions are widely collected internationally.
