- About the artwork
De kleurenetsen van Louis Icart behoren op het gebied van prentkunst tot de meest toonaangevende van de Art Deco periode. De elegante Franse dames die zijn wereld bevolken zijn allen goedlachs, schalks en zinnenprikkelend. Icart is een meester in het gebruik van droge naald en aquatint-suikerwater technieken. De kleuren zijn op de plaat ingewassen. Deze serie bestaat uit vier ronde afbeeldingen van vrouwen die ieder een seizoen voorstellen. Ze zijn ingelijst in een originele ingelegde art deco lijst. Deze serie uit 1920 is erg zeldzaam. Genummerd 118. - About the artist
Louis Icart (Louis Icart, 1888-1950) - French painter, draftsman, engraver and illustrator, author of numerous works of glamorous content.
Icart's style of painting was based on the French masters of the 18th century, such as Jean-Antoine Watteau, François Boucher and Jean-Honoré Fragonard. His drawings were influenced by Edgar Degas and Claude Monet; his rare watercolors bore features of the symbolists Odilon Redon and Gustave Moreau. Many of his early atmospheric paintings are in shades of brown, gold, and red; however, his pictures became brighter during his career.
Icart's depictions of women were mostly sensual, often erotic, but also always humorous and full of hinted or direct sexuality. In his pictures, beautiful courtesans frolicked on thick pillows with facial expressions full of passion, dismay or surprise. Horses, dogs or cats were often part of his subjects.
Icart made over 500 engravings and illustrated more than 30 books. Icart died in his Parisian house in 1950.
