This bronze sculpture represents two lovers joined together by their costume.
It was inspired by a costume designed for “The Kisses”, a scene in a music-hall show at the Théatre Bataclan in Paris in 1918.
This is an example of an unusual series of costumes Erté invented at that time and called “Costume Collectif” – these were outfits that held two or more people.
Another example is his similar sculpture, “The Wedding”.
About The Artist:
ERTE
Art Deco was was one of the most important design movements of the Twentieth Century.
Erte (Romain de Tirtoff), was considered to be its father.
The artist influenced a broad range of design for more than 85 years.
Erte also worked with Harper’s Bazaar, providing the magazine with its monthly covers, as well as dress, shoe, jewelry and interior designs. In the 1920s, he designed for the Folies Bergere and the Paris Opera, and also for the Ziegfeld Follies and Irving Berlin’s Music Box Revue in America.
Erté was born Romain de Tirtoff in St. Petersburg, Russia on November 23rd, 1892 and was raised amidst Russia’s social elite. At the age of five he created an evening gown for his mother and managed to persuade the adults to craft it, they were astounded by the results. In 1912, Romain left St. Petersburg for Paris at the age of nineteen with the aim of becoming an artist. After working with Paul ” Le Magnifique” Poiret on several theatrical productions Romain, still under the pseudonym of Erte, began to work more independently. He hand-crafted original costume and fashion designs for many of the era’s most renowned actresses, including Joan Crawford, Lillian Gish, Marion Davies, Anna Pavlova, Norma Shearer, and others. His masterpieces for the stage included extravagant production designs at venues such as New York’s Radio City Music Hall, the Casino de Paris, and the Paris Opera. In 1915 he began his long professional relationship with Harper’s Bazaar and created 240 covers for the esteemed magazine. For 6 months in 1916, Erté simultaneously worked with Vogue as well. As a result of his highly publicized success, Erté would later be called the father of the ‘Art Deco’ movement.
