Once upon a time I found a couple of Dover collections of Erté's work; I was young enough to be a little scandalized by some images, but old enough to buy them for myself – and aware enough to be deeply impressed, for the work to make an impression. So it was great to see this volume of theatrical costumes from his slightly twisted imagination, including some I'd never seen before. Vivid, electric, and unforgettable – that's Erté.
