LOUIS ICART (1888-1950) was a French painter, graphic artist, and illustrator. 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. an. 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. His contributions to his field have been likened to Picasso's legacy in 20th-century art. Icart is one of France top Art Deco artist’s. His etchings reached their height of brilliance in this era of Art Deco, and Icart had become the symbol of the epoch.
