Apparently Deutsch-Dryden (I decided to use both last names) was personally elegant as were the elegant subjects he depicted so elegantly.
His subjects were usually ladies and automobiles -- especially Bugattis.

Ernst Deutsch-Dryden: Elegant Illustrator
Ernst Deutsch-Dryden (1887-1938), born in Vienna, died in Los Angeles, changed his last name from Deutsch to Dryden following some sort of plagiarism scandal. A German-text Wikipedia entry for him is here, but the automated translation is awkward. This is often the case, given German syntax. Also, his last name (Deutsch) is translated as "German" which is what Deutsch means in English, and this might add confusion for some readers. Much of the same ground is covered in English here.

Perfect timing for a Deco fan, thank you :) I always loved Ernst Deutsch's work, especially the women's fashions and the cars.
