In the New York Times, Erte was described as "an Aubrey Beardsley who mastered the Foxtrot and occasionally broke into the Charleston". But whether in his spectacular designs for Broadway, the Folies Bergeres in Hollywood or in the hundreds of exquisite fashion drawings from 1913 to 1972 which he has selected in this fascinating book, Erte is always, unmistakably himself.
An artist whose superb draughtsmanship and unflagging creativity renders everything he designs from a muff, a pair of stockings or a silk and sable trimmed evening dress into an object of lasting beauty
