Tempest 

Erte crafted "Tempest" as a visual testament to the roaring twenties and the burgeoning Art Deco movement. In a period marked by shifting social norms and a celebration of modernity, Erte captures the era's spirit through bold geometry, streamlined forms, and vibrant colors. The rainbow, a symbol often associated with hope and diversity, cuts through a stormy, monochromatic backdrop, offering a narrative of optimism amidst turmoil. The stylized figure, rendered in stark black and white, hints at the era's fascination with theatricality and the changing ideals of beauty. Erte, who once said, "I never cared about what other people did. I'm just interested in doing my own thing," encapsulates a sentiment echoed across a generation eager to break from tradition. This print offers a glimpse into a world of elegance and liberation, reflecting both the glamour and the underlying tensions of a society in flux.
