About the Work
"Monaco" is a embossed serigraph with foil stamping created by Erté in 1986. The image size is 28.5" x 23.5". The artwork ships framed, signed and with a certificate of authenticity.Monaco is an original serigraph inspired by a fashion design that Erté created in September of 1920 for Harper’s Bazar. While two 'fashionistas' look on, the model’s luxurious black and gold-striped cloak cascades from her outstretched arms, ending in tasseled hems flowing down the pedestal behind her, all held together by a magnificent gold emblem in the center.
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.
