Description
Erte (Romain de Tirtoff) 20th century Serigraph on Paper "Ebony and White" Circa 1980. Signed in Pencil. Erte is perhaps most famous for his elegant fashion designs which capture the art deco period in which he worked. One of his earliest successes was designing apparel for the French dancer Gaby Deslys who died in 1920. His delicate figures and sophisticated, glamorous designs are instantly recognizable, and his ideas and art still influence fashion into the 21st century. His costumes, programme designs, and sets were featured in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1923, many productions of the Folies Bergère, Bal Tabarin, Thetre Femina, Le Lido and George White’s Scandals. On Broadway, the celebrated French chanteuse Irène Bordoni wore Erte’s designs. 34"H x 27"W Framed 25"H x 18.5"W Mat
