•  A Little Bit About ERTE:

• The Russian-born painter Romain de Tirtoff, who called himself Erté after the French pronunciation of his initials, was one of the foremost fashion and stage designers of the early twentieth century. 
  His costumes and sets were featured in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1923, many productions of the Folies Bergere, and George White's Scandals. In 1925, L.B Mayer brought him to Hollywood to design sets and costumes for a film called Paris. There were many script problems so Erte was given other assignments to keep him busy. He designed for such films as Ben-Hur (didn't you notice Charlton Heston in the silver lame headress!?), The Mystic, Time, the Comedian, Dance Madness and La Boheme. By far his best known image is Symphony in Black, depicting a tall, slender woman draped in black holding a thin black dog. The influential image has been reproduced and copied countless times.
