EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Sagittarius," is a stunning work of art by the renowned Russian-French artist and designer, Romain de Tirtoff, better known by his pseudonym Erte. Created in 1939, this illustration is a beautiful representation of the astrological sign for those born between November 22 and December 21. At the heart of the illustration, an archer is depicted, poised and determined as he takes aim at a laurel wreath. The archer's intense focus is palpable, as he releases an arrow towards the wreath, symbolizing the adventurous and ambitious spirit of Sagittarius. But what sets this illustration apart is the tender embrace of the archer and a woman. Their connection is strong and passionate, reflecting the fiery and emotional nature of this zodiac sign. Surrounding them are delicate pansies, adding a touch of sweetness and sensitivity to the scene. The numbers of the sign are also prominently displayed, with the archer's quiver adorned with the symbol of Sagittarius, a half-man, half-horse. This illustration is a testament to Erte's exceptional artistic abilities, showcasing his mastery of line, form, and color. This illustration was created during a pivotal time in history, with the world on the brink of war. The 1930s and 1940s were marked by political and social upheaval, yet art continued to thrive, providing a source of comfort and inspiration. Erte's "Sagittarius" is a beautiful reminder of the power of art to transport us to another world, even in the midst of turbulent times.
