Pour son quatre-vingt-dixième anniversaire à New York, en 1982, Andy Warhol le photographiait et Diana Ross chantait pour lui : un hommage à son étonnante longévité et à la permanence de sa célébrité. Pendant presque huit décennies, Erté, avec sa vision singulière, son éthique professionnelle inébranlable et son flot apparemment intarissable d’idées, a bien souvent lancé la tendance et, presque aussi souvent, défié le monde de la mode. De son vrai nom Romain de Tirtoff (Erté étant la transcription phonétique de ses initiales R et T), il naquit en 1892 dans une famille de la bonne société de Saint-Pétersbourg. La vie culturelle et théâtrale de cette ville, juste avant la révolution, l’influença tout au long de sa vie. Toutefois, dès 1912, il était devenu évident qu’il n’allait pas suivre la tradition familiale et entrer dans la marine (son père était amiral) ; Erté convainquit ses parents de le laisser partir pour Paris, où il entra à l’Académie Julian, avec l’intention de devenir portraitiste. Mais dès l’année suivante, et certainement sans hésitation, il avait déjà trouvé le chemin de l’atelier de Paul Poiret. Ce dernier, discernant immédiatement le goût d’Erté pour la théâtralité et l’excès, l’embaucha sur-le-champ. Par Poiret, Erté rencontra ensuite Lucien Vogel et ses premières illustrations de mode signées parurent dans la Gazette du Bon Ton en 1913. En 1914, une scarlatine virulente et potentiellement dangereuse força Erté à quitter Paris pour un climat plus clément. Il s’installa à Monte-Carlo, chez son cousin le prince Nicolas Ouroussoff. Comme il devait gagner sa vie, il envoya une série de croquis à Harper’s Bazar (le deuxième « a » ne fut ajouté que plus tard, en 1929) en Amérique et l’année suivante parut sa première couverture, qui devait marquer le début de HARPER’S BAZAAR vingt-deux ans de collaboration. Erté créa en tout deux cent Vibrantes de couleurs, brillantes comme de la laque, quarante couvertures pour le magazine. les couvertures d’Erté pour Harper’s Bazaar dans les années 1930 sont des chefs-d’œuvre du style Art déco.

Ses élégants dessins mettent l’accent nazis en août 1944 et en janvier de l’année suivante une édition sur les vêtements (ici, des modèles de Molyneux spéciale du Vogue français célébrait le retour de l’ordre ancien, et Schiaparelli, à gauche et de Rosine Paris, à droite, vers 1947), avec juste ce qu’il faut de détails dans ou du moins de quelque chose qui y ressemblait. La couverture l’arrière-plan pour planter le décor. Avec l’aimable patriotique bleu-blanc-rouge, signée Christian Bérard, décrivait me autorisation de M. et M Alain Matrand un galion voguant triomphalement vers la victoire. À l’intérieur, de la Bourdonnaye-Blossac/Collection particulière une série de dessins de Blossac (un pour chaque année de guerre) montrait que malgré des rappels plus ou moins subtils à l’occupation (par exemple, une croix gammée flottant au-dessus de la rue de Rivoli !) le Paris de la mode n’avait pas rendu les armes. Eric, Vertès et Bouché s’étant expatriés à New York pendant toute la durée de la guerre, il était normal que ce soit Blossac, un Français, qui résume le côté doux-amer de la situation. Bien que ces dessins aient été très remarqués, l’essentiel du travail de Blossac n’était pas pour Vogue, mais plutôt pour L’Art et la Mode, La Femme chic et surtout L’Officiel. À la fin des années 1940 et au début des années 1950, Blossac s’affirma, dessinant le monde élégant qu’il fréquentait, les allées et venues rue de la Paix, faubourg Saint-Honoré et avenue Matignon, ou bien il se postait, carnet de croquis en main, dans le lobby de l’hôtel George V ou au bar du Ritz. Son sens très aigu de l’observation donnait à ses croquis de défilés une légèreté de touche que tous lui enviaient. Contrairement à ses collègues de Vogue, Blossac ne bénéficiait d’aucun traitement de faveur : il devait donc faire ce qu’il pouvait en l’espace DIOR Les sujets de Blossac étaient toujours magnifiquement de quelques minutes intenses de dessin dans les coulisses après observés : voyez la façon magistrale dont la jambe le défilé. Il accordait une attention particulière aux attitudes et est dessinée d’un simple trait dans cette illustration aux expressions des mannequins car ce qui l’intéressait, disait-il, pour Dior, vers 1952.

Le résultat peut être étonnant, comme cette page de la fin des années 1950 pour le magazine Good Housekeeping.

Il n’avait pas encore vingt-et-un ans. Quelques mois plus tard, il travaillait déjà comme dessinateur publicitaire pour le magazine Glamour. Sa tâche consistait à dessiner des chaussures pour les pages mode et à illustrer un article intitulé Success is a Job in New York, ce qui paraît tout à fait prémonitoire. En effet, le succès et le glamour (sans parler des chaussures) ne furent-ils pas les leitmotivs permanents, et rémunérateurs, de Warhol ? Au début des années 1960, lorsque Warhol décida d’abandonner son travail publicitaire pour se consacrer à sa carrière de peintre pop art, il avait sans conteste déjà réussi. Depuis ses premiers dessins, à peine visibles, dans les marges des magazines Esquire et Bazaar, jusqu’aux importantes campagnes publicitaires pour I. Miller et aux vitrines pour Bonwit Teller, Warhol était devenu l’un des illustrateurs les plus prisés d’Amérique. Il avait glané au passage de nombreuses PÉRIODE BLEUE récompenses, fondé Andy Warhol Enterprises Inc. pour gérer Cinquante ans après leur création, les illustrations ses intérêts et emménagé dans une maison huppée de mode de Warhol restent irrésistiblement modernes.

  • Midcentury Llustrations: Playing with Shape and Color
    Midcentury Illustrations Playing with Shape and Color Critical Seminar Spring 2014 Catherine Ho Overview There was a sense of wonder and naivety that started showing up in Illustrations during the 1950s. Figures and objects suddenly became more geometric, less realistic, and curiously composed. The simplicity, directness, and vibrant approach were appreciated by many. There would be no sense of pretense since the style was entirely imaginary and curiously explorative and it seemed that people appreciated this aspect. Whilst the illustrations before were quite realistically rendered and controlled, this loose yet colorfully bold approach brought a sense of ease. In this exhibition you will find this sudden design oriented style permeating through different platforms of the midcentury, such as in print, packaging, and even in illustration today! The color and shapes used really show the playfulness of the time, especially the luxury that the rising economy and society were starting to enjoy. The bounty of work available in illustration really allowed for a wide range for styles to start blooming. Since televisions were not publicly available, these colorful illustrations were great communicators and very attractive to look at and enjoy. The colors and the utilization of shapes helped this style permeate through many different markets. Not only was it extremely successful in the children’s book market but the vivid illustrations also created excellent advertisement and packaging. With the middle class on the rise, consumerism was booming, and this was a great incentive for companies to create alluring posters. This style created fun and whimsical posters that attracted people to what they were marketing.

  • JANUARY 14 , 2009 Love Story Exhibition Features Romantic
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Diane Forsberg, Deputy Director& Chief Curator 518-673-2314 ext. 113 Love Story Exhibition Features Romantic Images to Share With Your Valentine at The Arkell Museum Canajoharie, NY-- The Arkell Museum at Canajoharie will focus on all things romantic just in time for Valentine’s Day with a reception for Love Story , an exhibition of American illustration from the New Britain Museum of American Art’s permanent collection. The reception, free for Arkell Museum members and $10 for non-members, will be held from 7:30 pm-9:00 pm on February7, 2009, a week before Valentine’s Day. Love Story includes some 60 original works of art that were used to illustrate romantic fiction over the past 100 years, including drawings, watercolors and oil paintings. Many works accompanied love stories in early issues of magazines such as Saturday Evening Post , McCall’s, Cosmopolitan, Harper’s Monthly, Redbook , Good Housekeeping, Woman’s Home Companion and Ladies Home Journal , which published original fiction in each issue. Represented in the exhibition are such well-known artists as James Montgomery Flagg, Dean Cornwell, Henry Raleigh, Coby Whitmore, Alex Ross, F.R. Gruger and Alice Barber Stephens. “Many people are not aware of the fact that the New Britain Museum of Art owns one of the best collections of American illustration in the country,” says Martha Hoppin, guest curator, who got her first good look at the collection about six years ago when she was asked to research information for a catalogue. “As I spent hours upon hours looking through the collection, I immediately thought of romance as a theme for an exhibition,” says Hoppin, who was astounded by the overall scope and size of the illustration collection founded in memory of the Museum’s first Director, Sanford B.D.
