Born in St.Petersburg, Russia, he moved to Paris in 1910 to pursue a careeer as a designer, and assumed the pseudonym Erte' (from the French pronunciation of his initials), to avoid disgracing his father, who wanted him to continue the family tradition and become a naval officer. In 1915 he secured a substantial contract with Harper's Bazaar magazine. Between 1915 and 1937 he designed over 200 of the magazine's covers, and his illustrations appeared in other notable magazines. Erte' is probably most famous for his sophisticated, glamorous fashion designs, which captured the Art Deco style so well, and his ideas and art still influence fashion today. In 1925, he was brought to Hollywood to design sets and costumes for silent films. There was a major renewal of interest in his art with the Art Deco revival in the 1960's, and he branched out into the realm of limited edition prints, bronzes, and wearable art. His work can be found in the collections of several well-known museums,including the Metropolitan Museum of Art.----------------------------------------------- Add a map to your own listings.
