About the Item

Romain De Tirtoff (Erté) (Russian/French 1892-1990. Pencil Signed lower right, numbered 226/300 lower left. Deckle lower edge. American Atelier, New York with raised stamps lower left. A woman poised in three different outfits / hats according to the season. Below the banner reads "If You Stay In The Land Of Neice...." The sheet is 11" x 12 1/2", image 7 1/4" x 9" and frame 16 7/8' x 20 7/8" The sheet is floating in a double matted presentation of cream and white. It is presented in a simple wood frame under glass. Erté was one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century and is closely identified as a leader of the Art Deco period. After more than half a century of international acclaim as a designer of sets and costumes for productions such as Folies-Bergère, George White's Scandals, and several Hollywood films, and as the designer of fashions and covers that gave Harper's Bazzar the image of elegance it projected in 1920's and 30's. Erté (the French pronunciation of his initials R.T.) after half a century of leading work began the project of producing limited editions of his most famous pieces from the past along with new creations. As art critic John Ashbery wrote: "It is given to few artists to achieve fame ..... and then to re-emerge late in life to even greater fame." Now, thirty years after his death, his works are still is high demand and originals such as this, even more scarce.

Referenced and pictured in the artist catalogue raisonne, Erte at 95, The Complete Graphic Work by Martin Lee, plate #121. About the artist: Romain Erte was born Romain de Tirtoff in St. Petersburg, Russia. The only son of an admiral in the Imperial Fleet, he was raised amidst Russia's social elite. As a young boy, he was fascinated by the Persian miniatures he found in his father's library. These exotic, brightly patterned designs continued to be important to him and influenced the development of his style. He moved to Paris at the age of eighteen and took the name Erte, from the French pronunciation of his initials, R and T. In 1915 he began his long relationship with Harper's Bazaar, during which time he created over 240 covers for the magazine. His fashion designs also appeared in many other publications, making him one of the most widely recognized artists of the 1920s. He also designed costumes and sets for the theater. In 1976 the French government awarded Erte the title of Officer of Arts and Letters, and in 1982 the Medaille de Vermeil de la Ville de Paris was bestowed upon him. His work is in many prominent museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Los Angeles County Museum, the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The designs created by Erté during his long and illustrious life influenced not only the world of theatre, film and fashion, but an entire art movement as well. The genius of the artist is evidenced by an enormous body of work that is considered among the most influential and unique of the 20th century. Erté—Romain de Tirtoff—was born in Russia in 1892, and died at age 97 in 1990. His legendary career spanned nearly the entire length of his life. In 1912, Erté moved to Paris and his unique talent was immediately recognized by the city's most established couturiers. In 1915, he began an association with Harper's Bazaar by designing covers of each of their magazines for the next 22 years. The influence of his work as a result of the high visibility of this periodical influenced an entire art movement that was to become known as "Art Deco". Throughout this period, the artist also created original costume and fashion designs for many of the era's most renowned screen actresses, including Joan Crawford, Lillian Gish, Marion Davies, Anna Pavlova, Norma Shearer and others. His creations for the stage included extravagent designs for productions at such venues as New York's Radio City Music Hall, the Casino de Paris and the Paris Opera, as well as for the Folies-Bergères and George White...
