Unique and inspirational styles
These designs may not always be emblematic of actual clothing in the 1920's, but they represent some of the most innovative, dramatic, and stylish stuff from the era, and remain inspirational to this day. The book features a few of his more ordinary designs, but also includes "Harper's Bazar" covers, theatrical designs, and some amazing haute couture. While there are no pictures of extant ...

Erte had a Beautiful Imagination!
This is a picture book featuring Erte's gorgeous designs in full colour glory. There is very little text, so if you desire biographical information, look elsewhere (I found some great info about Erte the man online). As an amateur costume designer and maker, this book is amazingly inspirational and stirs the passions of creativity.

For Erte, costume design was just another form of high art
The Russian born fashion and costume designer Romaine de Tirtoff was known as Erte for the simple reason that was the French pronunciation of his initials "R.T." Erte was one of the most prodigious designers of the twentieth century, known for his colorful and audacious Art Deco designs. Even if you do not recall his name, I bet your remember having seen his work before. "Erte's Theatrical ...

Dover Publications, 1976

Quaint text and dynamite illustrations of original fashion
Vogue editor Diana Vreeland once said that no one in the 20th century had a greater influence on fashion than Erte, this desite the fact that he worked for a competitor, Harper's Bazaar. That's an indication of just how revolutionary his work was for the times. Working with virtually no direction to blunt his creativity, Erte published paintings and sketches of ingenious fashions that are as ...

Other suites are The Alphabet (originally done in gouache-tempra), The Aces, The Precious Stones, and The Seasons. Although little background material is presented on Erte's conceptions behind these lithographs, ...

The story of Erte's life is a chronicle of the worlds of fashion, theater, and elegance in the Twentieth Century.

Mayer, Ramon Novarro, Joan Crawford, Claudette Colbert, Elsa Schiaparelli, ...

In this autobiography Erte looks back over the years and, with his characteristic eye for significant and amusing detail, he describes the personae and events that have filled his life. He recalls his childhood in Russia, his years in Monte Carlo during World War I, and his life in Paris and Hollywood. The procession of well-known characters is vividly described - from Isadora Duncun to Barbra Streisand, from Louis B Mayer to Roland Petit.

Dutton Adult, 1987

A Beautiful Book
Erte at 95 is a collection of colored prints by a wonderful artist. It's oversized (about 9x11) and the copy I've seen has many pages missing, but even without all its pages the book is a work of art in and of itself. The introduction speaks about Erte's life and methods. The rest of the book is devoted to full-page color reproductions of his prints, which run from vaguely Asian themes to ...
