The original letters in Erte’s Alphabet Suite were created in gouache on paper consisting of exotic female human bodies in styled, sexy, costumes and embellishments, contorting themselves as if performing a dance, into the shapes of the letters. The idea was conceived in 1924, created between 1927 and 1967, and the suite was published in graphics in 1976-1977. The masterpiece “Erte’s Alphabet” paintings are on permanent display at the Centre Pompidou Museum in Paris.
