Eternal Paintings of Erte
Romain de Tirtoff, better known as Erte, had a long and illustrious
career that transformed both the art fashion industry in which he
produced fine original artwork for as well as the broader culture of the
time of his widespread popularity.
Erte original art experienced two
distinct periods of great cultural appreciation and popularity- the first
during the 1920s with his introduction of his art deco styling that
would later go on to define the generation, and later in the 1960s as
he introduced art deco resurgences which modified his earlier aesthetic
theme.
Erte first became famous in the 1920s and early 1930s for his work as
a fashion designer.
He designed over 240 covers for Harper’s Bazaar
during his career working for them.
Today, these covers remain highly
collectible for fashion aficionados and art collectors alike.
His covers
reflect a high end fashion design eye and convey the art deco aesthetic
for which Erte is credited for creating.
