@@petebeard And exactly that human element which makes Art Deco so timeless and mesmerizing, is missing in today's automated minimalism. A shame, really.

I've come to think of myself as a pre-modernist. Art Deco is about as far as i'll go and even there can feel a little alienating.

I was fortunate to have known Erté for the last 10 years of his life. When I became artist-in-residence for a local Art Deco Society, they convinced to put a lecture together. I have had the opportunity to travel all over the world talking about Art Deco but my presentation on Erté's life and art is still my most requested.
