"Louis Icart is a French artist best known for his drawings of glamorous womenóoften erotic or mildly humorous in toneóas well as for his depictions of 1920s Paris life. He was born in Toulouse, France in 1888, and began drawing at a young age. In 1907, he moved to Paris and began studying painting, drawing, and printmaking. Influenced by Jean Antoine Watteau, FranÁois Boucher, and Jean HonorÈ Fragonard, he became a major figure of the Art Deco period, with his work surging in popularity in both the United States and Europe throughout the 1920s and 1930s. He also worked as a designer in fashion studios during a time when the industry was undergoing a major change, moving away from the conservatism of the 19th century towards a more progressive simplicity. He died on December 20, 1950, at his home in Paris, France." - artnet.com. For more information on the Art Nouveau movement, see Lot #185447. [] [] [France] [] []
