The Russian-born painter
Romain de Tirtoff, who called himself Erté after the French
pronunciation of his initials, was one of the foremost fashion
and stage designers of the early twentieth century. |

A
major figure in American art, Lichtenstein drew attention to Pop
painting in the 1960s with his distinctive renderings of comic
books and advertisements. Unlike abstract expressionists,
Lichtenstein relished mimicking familiar images in popular
culture. |

Chagall's distinctive use of color and form is derived partly
from Russian expressionism and was influenced decisively by
French cubism. Crystallizing his style early, as in Candles in
the Dark (1908, artist's collection), he later developed subtle
variations.

Alphonse Mucha's artwork has
become synonymous with art nouveau's most recognizable features:
organic curving forms, female subjects, lavish
ornamentation and exotic use of color. Though Mucha did not
invent the style, it was through his work that the,
European exponent of the style found its most visable
manifestation.

Erté now offers us the thrill of celebrating major
occasions (and quiet, love-inspired candlelight dinners) with his special
"Flute Majestique" - named for the oversized champagne flutes used by
Imperial Czarist Russia at the time of Erté's birth in 1892.
