A talented artist of Russian origin, known by the pseudonym Erté (the French pronunciation of his initials R.T.), Romain De Tirtoff moved to Paris in the early 1910s. In 1913 he began to collaborate with the stylist Paul Poiret; In 1915 he obtained his first contract with Harper’s Bazaar, the prestigious magazine for which he created more than 200 covers between 1915 and 1938. Erté’s illustrations were published in numerous other magazines, including the Illustrated London News, Ladies’ Home Journal and Vogue. But it was his fashion drawings that made him famous throughout the world: his delicate and sophisticated figures, of an immediately recognisable style, were an inexhaustible source of inspiration for subsequent fashion, making him one of the fathers of Art Deco. In addition to illustration and fashion, Erté shone in numerous fields of applied arts: he created jewellery, interior design, stage sets and costumes for theatre and cinema. His works are exhibited in the most prestigious museum collections around the world, from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
