Erté's My Life/My Art: An Autobiography is a lavishly illustrated memoir that traces the remarkable career of one of the twentieth century's most influential Art Deco artists. Born as Romain de Tirtoff into an aristocratic family in St. Petersburg, Erté recounts his early life in Russia, his move to Paris in 1912, and his rise to international fame as a fashion illustrator, costume designer, and theatrical artist. The book chronicles his long association with Harper's Bazaar, his work for the Parisian stage, Hollywood productions, and celebrated revues such as the Folies Bergère, while also introducing many of the famous personalities he encountered, including artists, performers, publishers, and social figures of the era. Richly illustrated with photographs and reproductions of his work, the autobiography serves as both a personal memoir and a retrospective of a creative life devoted to elegance, fantasy, and visual spectacle, offering a vivid portrait of the artistic and cultural world of the twentieth century.
