Erté Pas de Deux — Original Vintage ERTÉ Art Deco Print (1988)

Elegant, romantic, and unmistakably Art Deco, Pas de Deux is a refined vintage print by the legendary Erté, whose iconic imagery helped define the glamour and sophistication of 20th-century fashion and theatrical design.

Originally published in 1988 by E. P. Dutton, New York, this authentic vintage print was taken from a first edition book and is a genuine original book plate — not a modern reproduction.

Rendered in a sophisticated monochromatic palette of black, white, and soft silver tones, the composition captures two stylized dancers suspended in graceful movement and theatrical elegance. The elongated silhouettes, dramatic contrast, and minimalist geometry beautifully showcase Erté’s mastery of balance, line, and visual restraint.

Both timeless and strikingly modern, Pas de Deux possesses a quiet sophistication that makes it exceptionally versatile for contemporary interiors. The composition’s clean lines and refined palette allow the artwork to feel effortlessly luxurious while maintaining the romantic glamour synonymous with the Art Deco era.

Printed on high-quality coated paper, the piece retains exceptional clarity, crisp detail, and beautifully preserved tones. Presented in excellent vintage condition, it would look extraordinary professionally framed either as a standalone statement piece or displayed within a curated Erté salon-style collection.

A sophisticated acquisition for collectors of Art Deco, fashion illustration, theatrical design, dance-inspired imagery, and vintage decorative arts.
