tribute to a "miraculous magician", 'Erte' is a book to treasure.

Inspirational full colour reproductions of Erte's finest costume designs. Although perhaps best remembered for his fabulous and fantastical costumes, in fact Erte (or, to give him his rightful name, Romain de Tirtoff) created so much more, from fashion design with Poiret, costume & set design for hundreds of stage shows, as well as Hollywood movies such as the 1926 Ben Hur. This luxuriously illustrated volume contains a rich and representative slection of images, drawn from throughout Erte's long and extraordinarily productive career. A detail introduction to the artist's life and work is complemented by over 100 exquisite fullcolour plates, which pay tribute to a "miraculous magician". 'Erte' is a book to treasure.
