This review is from: Erte's Seven Deadly Sins and Other Great Graphics in Full Color (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) (Paperback)

This is a picture book featuring Erte's gorgeous designs in full colour glory. There is very little text, so if you desire biographical information, look elsewhere (I found some great info about Erte the man online).

As an amateur costume designer and maker, this book is amazingly inspirational and stirs the passions of creativity.

There are so many classic art deco works in this book. Highly recommend to those who are inspired by the period and use it in their original creations.
