This volume provides a fascinating sample of Erté's very best graphic work, offering every plate from his most popular collections: The Alphabet (1977); The Numerals (1968); The Aces (1974); The Precious Stones (1969); and The Seasons (1970). Each plate has been painstakingly reproduced from the autographed, limited-edition lithographs. A brief Preface offers bibliographic data.

Book title needs a sub-title,
By LinAnne "Lin22" (Puget Sound) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Erte Graphics: Five Complete Suites (50 Prints) Reproduced in Full Color (Paperback)
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,
By Libra "MYK" (Tustin, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Erte Graphics: Five Complete Suites (50 Prints) Reproduced in Full Color (Paperback)
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.
