ERTE (Romain de Tirtoff), (1892-1990) Raised as a child of the social elite, Erte moved to France at the age of 18 to work in the world's center of art and fashion. Beginning his career under Paul Poiret, the most respected couturier in Paris at the time, Erte went on to work for Harper's Bazaar for twenty-two years where he created more than 240 covers.  His reputation earned him the patronage of Mata Hari, Pavlova and Mrs. William Randolph Hearst as he became a major contributor to the fashions of the twentieth century. Erte began his work with the fine print media in the 1970's, publishing more than 180 of his designs. In 1979, the Smithsonian Institution organized a retrospective of his work, which traveled to many major museums across the U.S. and Canada.
