Erté (Romain de Tirtoff)
22 Jun - 20 Aug 2004

‘No one in the 20th century had a greater influence on fashion than Erté.’ Diana Vreeland, Vogue editor (1963-71).

The exhibiton showed some of Erté’s finest fashion and stage designs spanning the inter-war period when his mastery as a draughtsman and colourist first became apparent. The centrepiece of the exhibition was his masterpiece Alphabet which is illustrated on the left.
