This graphic design by Art Deco artist Erte depicts Capricorn, the tenth astrological sign. It shows a goat-fish constellation jumping over a wall with a female figure with multiple arms and a dagger in the background. The image is in a distinctive Art Deco style, with bold lines and geometric shapes, and features the stark black and white contrasts which were popularized by the movement. Erte was a prolific artist who created a wide variety of works, including fashion designs, illustrations and stage sets. This artwork is a prime example of his style, which is both striking and sophisticated.
