Automobiles and electric appliances made people's lives easier and gave them more leisure time.

Art Deco belongs to a world of luxury and decadence, the golden age of the 1920s and 1930s. The very term conjures up a multitude of romantic images; huge ocean liners gliding effortlessly across moonlit seas; the sound of clinking cocktail glasses and the sound of a raucous jazz band emanating from a sumptuously decorated ballroom.

This Russian artist was born Romain de Tirtoff and liked to call himself Erté after the French pronunciation of his initials. He was one of the foremost fashion and stage designers of the early 20th century. Destined for a military career, Erté surprised a number of people by creating his first successful costume design and the age of five. In 1912, at the age of 19, his father finally allowed him to move to Paris to fullfill his dream of becoming a fashion illustrator. Erté is perhaps best remembered for the gloriously extravagant costumes and stage sets that he designed which vividly reflect his taste for the exotic and romantic. Février 2008
