Erté by the Numbers





















Romain de Tirtoff...known as Erté, the French pronunciation of his initials.

  1. Oooh, I've seen all the letters before but somehow I had not seen the numbers! They're lovely and he is a favorite of mine.

  2. I hadn't seen them either! Found at erte.com (along with the alphabet) but I wish the reproductions were a little better. I tried to intensify the color and detail but they turned out sort of patchy. :(

  3. Erte knew a thing or two about making a work of beauty.

    And, really, what's with the reproduction quality?
    I find it strange that there were no bigger, sharper images anywhere on the net last time I searched for his work.
