Romanesco goes by many names, including – confusingly – romanesco broccoli and romanesco cauliflower. The decidedly alien-looking vegetable is quite possibly the result of selective breeding practiced in Italy as far back as the 16th century.
Erté (Romain de Tirtoff) 1892-1990 | Russian-French La fée Chance (The Fairy ‘Luck’) Signed “Erté”(lower right) Inscribed "No. 7879 / La Feé Chance / Composition originale" (en verso) Gouache on paper This captivating gouache on paper features a cabaret ensemble that epitomizes Erté's quintessential Art Deco sophistication. Entitled La fée Chance, or The Fairy of Luck, the central figure is draped in a resplendent golden gown embellished with iconic talismans of fortune such as four-leaf clovers and horseshoes. The model's asymmetrical ensemble is accentuated with lustrous white gemstones, harmoniously paired with blue and green jewels that extend from her bangles to her refined wand. Complemented by a tiara and earrings encrusted with white jewels, as well as an elegantly coiffed updo, this ethereal figure embodies the epitome of sophisticated serendipity. Russian-French visionary Romain de Tirtoff (1892-1990), popularly known as Erté, began his artistic journey in the culturally rich city of St. Petersburg, where he developed an early fondness for ballet and theatrical performances. He moved to Paris in 1912 to study architecture, and quickly found his creative niche in crafting fantastical costumes for the city’s bustling nightlife. Erté‘s expertise, refined under the guidance of the famed Paul Poiret, captured the attention of Harper’s Bazaar, marking the beginning of a significant partnership that spanned from 1915 to 1936. The artist also designed sets for notable cinematic masterpieces including Ben Hur and La Bohème, and created sets and costumes for cabarets, operas and other performances at the Folies-Bergères, Bal Tabarin, the Théâtre du Bataclan and Le Casino de Paris. Often remembered as the “Father of Art Deco,” Erté was a trailblazer whose colorful creations shaped the groundbreaking Art Deco era more than any other, leaving an indelible mark on the history of art and design. His artworks reside in prestigious museum collections worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
