Erté

Roman Petrovich Tirtoff, pseudonym Erté, was a Russian-born artist, graphic artist, illustrator, stage designer, fashion designer and sculptor of the Art Deco era who worked in Paris and Hollywood. His pseudonym, which he took "so as not to disgrace his family", was made up of the first letters of his first and last name.

Herthe is best known for his elegant fashion illustrations, costume designs and set designs for the theatre.

Erte's work was not limited to the realm of fashion and theatre. He created jewellery, perfume bottles, furniture and furnishings, infusing them with his unique sense of style and elegance. His work often utilised elements of Egyptian, Byzantine and Oriental art, combining historical traditions with contemporary aesthetics
