    Highly refined Art Deco print Illusions by Louis Icart (1888–1950), executed as an etching with aquatint and subtly hand-coloured.

    The composition depicts an elegant, sensual female figure in a strongly stylised, almost floating pose against a deep, dark background. The elongated silhouette, the soft modelling of the body and the dreamy, slightly theatrical atmosphere are characteristic of Icart’s mature style. The composition deliberately plays with seduction, imagination and illusion, fully in keeping with the title Illusions.

    The work is signed in pencil by the artist in the lower right and numbered in the lower left (46).
    In addition, the print is signed in the plate in the upper left with the inscription: “Copyright 1940 L. Icart – N.Y.”

    In the lower left corner a blind stamp is present, consisting of an L, a windmill, an I, and below this the word Paris.

    The paper is beautifully white in colour and is in a very fresh and well-preserved condition.

    The print is professionally framed with a mount and behind museum glass, ensuring optimal conservation and a high-quality presentation.

    Illusions belongs to the characteristic female figure compositions through which Louis Icart reached an international audience and represents a highly representative example of the luxurious, refined and exceptionally elegant character of Parisian Art Deco printmaking of the interwar period.

  • A proposito di opere artista

    Louis Icart (Louis Icart, 1888-1950) - Pittore, disegnatore, incisore e illustratore francese, autore di numerose opere di contenuto affascinante.

    Lo stile pittorico di Icart era basato sui maestri francesi del XVIII secolo, come Jean-Antoine Watteau, François Boucher e Jean-Honoré Fragonard. I suoi disegni sono stati influenzati da Edgar Degas e Claude Monet; i suoi rari acquerelli portavano tratti dei simbolisti Odilon Redon e Gustave Moreau. Molti dei suoi primi dipinti atmosferici sono nei toni del marrone, dell'oro e del rosso; tuttavia, le sue immagini sono diventate più luminose durante la sua carriera.

    Le raffigurazioni delle donne di Icart erano per lo più sensuali, spesso erotiche, ma anche sempre umoristiche e piene di sessualità accennata o diretta. Nelle sue foto, bellissime cortigiane si divertono su spessi cuscini con espressioni facciali piene di passione, sgomento o sorpresa. Cavalli, cani o gatti facevano spesso parte dei suoi sudditi.

    Icart ha realizzato oltre 500 incisioni e illustrato più di 30 libri. Icart morì nella sua casa parigina nel 1950
