Erté. “The choice of subjects for my prints depends on the mood I find myself in that day. But generally, I prefer subjects that can be developed into a series, forming an album. In using this method, I have the feeling that I am telling a whole story, not just a single incident.”

Erté. “Not only do I do what I want to do, but I do my work in my own way and never have been influenced by another artist. The sole influences on my art, through the course of my entire career, were the Persian and Indian Miniatures and Greek vases I saw in my childhood at the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg (Now Leningrad). I think that these influences have stayed with me to this day, although they were assimilated long ago.”
