EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is the front cover of The Sketch magazine's Summer Number, designed by the renowned artist and illustrator, Erte, in 1937. The design is a stunning example of the Art Deco style that dominated the visual arts of the 1920s and 1930s. Erte, whose real name was Romain de Tirtoff, was a Russian-born artist known for his elegant and imaginative illustrations. In this cover, Erte transforms a simple white head in profile into an intricate galaxy of stars. The head, with its elongated features and smooth curves, blends seamlessly into the celestial background, creating a mesmerizing effect. The use of blue tones adds to the ethereal quality of the image, evoking a sense of calm and tranquility that is fitting for a summer issue. The stars twinkle brightly against the dark blue backdrop, adding depth and texture to the design. The silhouette of the head and the galaxy of stars create a striking contrast, highlighting the artistic skill and creativity of Erte. The image is a testament to the power of design to transport us to another world, to inspire and delight. The Sketch magazine, founded in 1811, was a leading publication in the world of art and design during the 1930s. This cover, with its unique and innovative design, showcases the magazine's commitment to showcasing the best in visual arts and design of the time. This image is a historical treasure, a snapshot of the past that continues to captivate and inspire us today. It is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the 1930s and the enduring influence of Art Deco on contemporary design.
