Erté. (1892-1990) Signed Photograph
Erté. (1892-1990). Signed Photograph.
Signed portrait of the Russian-born French artist and designer standing next to his "L for Leopard" composition.  Inscribed to Paul McMahon.  Oblong format, 8 x 10.25 inches (20.3 x 26 cm). In fine condition.

Romain de Tirtoff, who formed his pseudonym "Erté" from the French pronunciation of his initials, is perhaps most famous for his elegant fashion designs which capture the art déco period in which he worked.  His delicate figures and sophisticated, glamorous designs are instantly recognizable, and his ideas and art still influence fashion into the 21st century.  

From the collection of Paul McMahon, a critic, photographer and artist who worked for more than 13 years touring with Marlene Dietrich as the icon’s stage manager, announcer, dresser, secretary and escort, and later spent 25 years as an arts and entertainment reviewer and photographer with Gay Community News, Esplanade, Tommy’s Connection, The Mirror, Bay Windows and other publications.
