Romain de Tirtoff
(23 November 1892 – 21 April 1990) was a
Russian
-born
French
artist
and designer known by the
pseudonym
Erté
, from the French pronunciation of his initials (
pronounced
[ɛʁ.te]
,
AIR TAY
). He was a 20th-century artist and designer in an array of fields, including
fashion
,
jewellery
,
graphic arts
,
costume
and
set design
for film, theatre, and opera, and
interior decor
.
Erté cover for
Harper's Bazar February 1922.
Erté 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 recognisable, 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
,
Théâtre Fémina
,
Le Lido
[6]
and
George White's Scandals
.
[7]
On Broadway, the celebrated French chanteuse
Irène Bordoni
wore Erté's designs.
In 1907, he lived one year in
Paris
. He said about this time "I did not discover
Beardsley
until when I had already been in Paris for a year".
Demoiselle à la balancelle
is one of Erté's first sculptures, if not the first. Made in 1907, at the age of 15 years, during a stay in Paris. This work is less precise than his other sculptures, but still
Art Nouveau
. Erté considered this so minor and uninteresting that it does not appear in his official biography, but the cartouche on the back indicates 'ERTE PARIS 1907', in a triangle.
In 1910–12, Romain moved to Paris to pursue a career as a designer. In Paris he lived with Prince Nicolas Ouroussoff (December 17, 1879 – April 8, 1933) up until the prince's death in 1933.
[3]
The decision to move to Paris was made despite strong objections from his father, who wanted Romain to continue the family tradition and become a naval officer. Romain assumed his pseudonym to avoid disgracing the family. He worked for
Paul Poiret
from 1913 to 1914. In 1915, he secured his first substantial contract with
Harper's Bazaar
magazine, and thus launched an illustrious career that included designing costumes and stage sets. During this time, Erte designed costumes for the
Mata Hari
.
[4]
Between 1915 and 1937, Erté designed over 200 covers for
Harper's Bazaar
, and his illustrations would also appear in such publications as
Illustrated London News
,
Cosmopolitan
,
Ladies' Home Journal
, and
Vogue
