About the Work
"Rose Fan" is an expertly crafted, embossed serigraph on paper with foil stamping created by Erté in 1990. From the edition of 650, the artwork is estate-stamped 'Erté' lower right. The image size is 18.75 x 14.5" and the artwork is framed in a classic 'reed and ribbon' gold-tone frame. The artwork ships framed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
"Rose Fa" is one of four serigraphs in Erté’s ‘Fashion and Jewelry Suite II.’ The suite showcases four of the most exquisite Erté designs that sprang from his twenty-two year association with Harper’s Bazaar. His drawings for the magazine sparked the creation of innumerable fashion designs for some of the world’s most glamorous women, among them designs for jewelry and fashion accessories. In a rare wedding-themed design for Harper's Bazaar in 1920, "Rose Fan" depicts a bouquet of tightly bunched pink roses enveloped in an enclosure of silver laurel leaf braid.

About the Artist
Erté was born Romain de Tirtoff in St. Petersburg, Russia on November 23rd, 1892 and was raised amidst Russia's social elite. At the age of five he created an evening gown for his mother and managed to persuade the adults to craft it, they were astounded by the results. In 1912, Romain left St. Petersburg for Paris at the age of nineteen with the aim of becoming an artist. After working with Paul " Le Magnifique" Poiret on several theatrical productions Romain, still under the pseudonym of Erte, began to work more independently. He hand-crafted original costume and fashion designs for many of the era’s most renowned actresses, including Joan Crawford, Lillian Gish, Marion Davies, Anna Pavlova, Norma Shearer, and others. His masterpieces for the stage included extravagant production designs at venues such as New York’s Radio City Music Hall, the Casino de Paris, and the Paris Opera. In 1915 he began his long professional relationship with Harper's Bazaar and created 240 covers for the esteemed magazine. For 6 months in 1916, Erté simultaneously worked with Vogue as well. As a result of his highly publicized success, Erté would later be called the father of the ‘Art Deco’ movement.
