The King of Yvetot
William Makepeace Thackeray: 1811 –1863
There was a king of Yvetot, Of whom renown hath little said,
Who let all thoughts of glory go, And dawdled half his days a-bed;
And every night, as night came round, By Jenny, with a nightcap crowned,
Slept very sound: Sing ho, ho, ho! and he, he, he!
That's the kind of king for me.
And every day it came to pass, That four lusty meals made he;
And, step by step, upon an ass, Rode abroad, his realms to see;
And wherever he did stir, What think you was his escort, sir?
Why, an old cur. Sing ho, ho, ho! and he, he, he!
If e'er he went into excess, 'Twas from a somewhat lively thirst;
But he who would his subjects bless, Odd's fish!—must wet his whistle first;
And sofrom every cask they got, Our king did to himself allot,
At least a pot. Sing ho, ho, ho! and he, he, he!
To all the ladies of the land, A courteous king, and kind, was he;
The reason why you'll understand, They named him Pater Patriae.
Each year he called his fighting men, And marched a...

Les fleurs du mal by Erté
Located in New Orleans, LA
Erté (Romain de Tirtoff)
1892-1990 Russian-French
Fleurs du Mal(The Flowers of Evil)
Signed "Erté" (lower right)
Inscribed 114.6 (en verso)
Gouache on paper
Captivating and vibrant, this colorful gouache entitledFleurs du Mal showcases Erté's masterful creativity and keen eye. Inspired by Les Fleurs du mal, the famed volume of poems by French writer Charles Baudelaire, this ensemble marries light purple and green floral motifs with the suggestive form of red lips poised for a smooch. This daring yet feminine appearance encapsulates the Art Deco allure for which the artist's creations are cherished. The sophisticated arrangement emanates the fundamental richness and theatricality that can only be accomplished by Erté, often hailed as the "Father of Art Deco."
First published in 1857, Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du mal was controversial for its suggestive content and themes of decadence and eroticism. The volume provided a wealth of inspiration for Erté and he drew from several themes to create original fashion sketches...

Art Deco paintings might not have been as abundant as other decorative art forms when the movement first materialized in the early 1900s, as there wasn’t a painting-specific component of the 1925 Parisian exhibition that gave way to the term Art Deco. But many artists — such as those working as magazine illustrators, glass artists or sculptors — embraced the characteristics of the fashionable style even if painting wasn't their primary medium.
While sculpture and painting were initially secondary Art Deco media, Art Deco paintings were still lively and rich. As part of a reaction against the organic forms and floral motifs that underpinned Art Nouveau, Art Deco painters introduced geometric abstraction and distortion in their work. Painters working in the Art Deco style were inspired by Cubist forms and the bright colors of Fauvism, and an offshoot of Art Deco painting emerged in the 1930s as murals, a way to decorate buildings in the United States after the Great Depression.
Dunbar D. Beck, Witold Gordon, René Buthaud, Erté and Emil Fiala are some of the painters associated with Art Deco that you can find on 1stDibs.
