Erté was a Russian artist and designer known for his glamorous opera sets, jewelry, costumes, and graphic arts. His work is emblematic of the Art Deco style in its use of tapering lines and simplified ornamentation inspired by the natural world. Born Roman Petrovich Tyrtov on November 23, 1892 in St. Petersburg, Russia to an aristocratic family, he moved to Paris in 1910. In 1915, he secured a contract with Harper’s Bazaar magazine, producing numerous illustrations and other media.
