4.0 out of 5 stars For Erte, costume design was just another form of high art, 29 April 2005

By A Customer

The Russian born fashion and costume designer Romaine de Tirtoff was known as Erte for the simple reason that was the French pronunciation of his initials "R.T." Erte was one of the most prodigious designers of the twentieth century, known for his colorful and audacious Art Deco designs. Even if you do not recall his name, I bet your remember having seen his work before. "Erte's Theatrical Costumes in Full Color" offers 49 plates from 1911 to 1975, with captions, of the work Erte did for theatrical productions, where his imagination was most unfettered and where his popularity lasted considerably longer than it did in the real world of high fashion. Erte was designing costumes for Mata Hari way back in 1913 and was still designing costumes and sets for a production of the opera "Der Rosenkavalier" in 1980. From a worshipper of Horus and the wife of Russian boyar to Aladdin and Faust, Erte displayed a wide array of exotic and historical styles in his dazzling costumes. The only real complaint with this collection is that there are only 49 gorgeous plates of some of his most stunning creations.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for Erte fans, 22 Oct 2002

By A Customer

This book contains full colour costumes by Erte 1912-1957, if you don't know anything about Erte this proberbly isn't the first book on him that you should get as there is no written information apart from the preface of a paragraph, but Erte books tend not to be full of text, the designs speak for themselves. The designs included range from costumes for Aladdin, Casanova, Le Bal des Arts etc.
