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”. * * After a period of * relative obscurity in the 1940s and 1950s, * Erté's characteristic style found a new and enthusiastic market * in the 1960s, and the artist responded to renewed demand * by creating a series of colorful lithographic prints * and sculpture. This luxuriously illustrated museum * contains a rich and representative selection of images, * drawn from throughout Erté's long and extraordinary * productive career. * * *Retrieved from: * http://www.rogallery.com/Erte/erte-biography.htm *
