Erté (born Romain de Tirtoff) (1892, St. Petersburg – 1990, Paris) Art Deco Lady with a Greyhound Erté’s most famous fashion illustration, featuring his sophisticated, fashionably attired, and slender Art Deco ladies—often accompanied by a greyhound—is a hallmark of his fashion illustration style. This particular image was repeatedly used as a lithographic print, a bronze sculpture, and an exhibition poster. The pen-and-ink and gouache drawings by this world-famous, extremely prolific, and successful illustrator and fashion designer mostly depict precisely such idealized women in poses where they are surrounded by luxurious jewelry, feathers, and soft, flowing fabrics. Erté studied at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts under Ilya Repin from 1906 to 1910, but emigrated to France in 1912, where he quickly achieved great success in the Parisian fashion world. He worked for major fashion magazines such as Harper’s Bazaar, *Vogue*, *Cosmopolitan*, and *Femina*, and designed women’s clothing and accessories as well as costumes for theater, opera, and ballet. Gouache on paper. Signed lower right; 60 cm x 44 cm. Framed. Gouache on paper. Signed.
