Book title needs a sub-title August 23, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This Erte` book really needs a better title, or maybe a sub-title (under the main title) because this book contains only the Erte`Graphics decribed by the previous commentator (eg: the NUMBERS, ALPHABETS, etc).
This book is very thin, but the size of the book's page are very large, so the reader can see the posters in great detail! A good thing! I liked the over-size of each page very much. Also, the colors of the graphics are very bright and clear....almost psychedelic!
I think that if you are a lover of the graphic arts, or Erte`, or the history of graphic art in general,this is a good book to own as a supplement. This book is not complete, but would make a nice supplement to a book library.
(Also the price of this book is normally quite reasonable).
Erte's Graphic Suites March 21, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This small book presents Erte's (Romain de Tittoff) first lithographs, which he created in suites. His first album published in 1968 consisted of the numbers 0 through 9 (The Numerals). Other suites are The Alphabet (originally done in gouache-tempra), The Aces, The Precious Stones, and The Seasons. Although little background material is presented on Erte's conceptions behind these lithographs, publishers, dates, and edition numbers of each suite are given. Because there is no complete collection of Erte's work, this book is quite useful. It allows one quickly to identify these lithographs. For background information, consult another reference work such as Erte at Ninety-Five.
