Description: What a beautiful find for the Collector or Decorator. A lovely gift idea. From the Collection of a Sussex County Delaware Collector. Please have a look we will be listing several other wonderful Erte items. This image entitled “The Kiss” is a scarce lithograph and the Artists Proof’s are exceedingly hard to find. Note: This is an Artists Proof. Please refer to “Erte” At Ninety The Complete Graphics”. Published by Dutton, 1982. Illustrated on page 68, and image information at page 221 of the Index. We are including the aforesaid book with this wonderful Erte Signed piece. The book will ship separately. These original limited edition lithographs, signed by the artist, should not be confused with the reproductions of this image that are for sale quite cheaply. “The Kiss", also known as “le souper galant”, (for what reason we have no idea) has an embossed outline of a man’s face as he leans down to share a kiss with a very elegant, bejewelled and willing recipient. Inside the body of the woman’s figure are the words “le souper galant”. I am unsure as to the exact translation. The closest I can come to is “the gallant supper”. Romain de Tirtoff (23 November 1892 – 21 April 1990) was a Russian-born French artist and designer known by the pseudonym Erte, from the French pronunciation of his initials. He was a 20th century artist and designer in an array of fields, including fashion, jewelry, graphic arts, costume and set design for films, theater, opera and interior décor (from Wikipedia).
