ABOUT THE WORK
"Puttin' On The Ritz" has a formal, yet fun feeling. The elegant blacks and greys are punctuated by the commanding red. It has a contemporary thin, white floater frame that brings the dimensions to 12 3/8" x 12 3/8" x 1 1/2" deep. The song was written by Irving Berlin in 1927. The title derives from the slang expression "to put on the Ritz", meaning to dress very fashionably. This expression was itself inspired by the opulent Ritz Hotel in London.
