Erte (Romain de Tirtoff, 1892-1990) was a pioneering figure of the Art Deco movement, celebrated for his elegant designs spanning fashion, theater, and the visual arts. Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, and later based in Paris, Erte gained international acclaim through his long association with Harper's Bazaar, where he created over 200 covers between 1915 and 1937. His work extended to costume and set designs for the Folies Bergere, the Paris Opera, and Hollywood films, influencing generations of designers. Often called the "Father of Art Deco," Erte's creations are held in major museum collections worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Victoria and Albert Museum, and Smithsonian Institution, cementing his legacy as one of the most influential decorative artists of the 20th century.
