Erté (also known as Romain de Tirtoff) - 1892-1990 - is considered
the father of the Art Deco movement. He was born in St. Petersburg, Russia and later moved to Paris. His work varied greatly; from jewelry, jewellery to costumes and from sculptures to paintings, he was a prolific artist.
Erté Serigraphs and Sculpture Art Deco was one of the most important design movements of the twentieth century. The artist influenced a wide range of designs for over 85 years. Erté also worked with Harper's Bazaar, providing the magazine with its monthly covers and designs for dresses, shoes, jewelry, and interiors. In the 1920s he designed for the Folies Bergere and the Paris Opera, and also for the Ziegfeld Follies and Irving Berlin's Music Box Revue in America.
