Louis Icart Lithograph after Icart from 1970 Signed in the plate Limited Edition
Lithograph by Louis Icart Approx 28x24 inches signed by the artist Includes certificate and is custom framed
Condition: This is in excellent condition. Louis Icart was born in Toulouse, France. He began drawing at an early age. He was particularly interested in fashion, and became famous for his sketches immediately. He worked for major design studios at a time when fashion was undergoing a radical change-from the fussiness of the late nineteenth century to the simple, clingy lines of the early twentieth century. He was first son of Jean and Elisabeth Icart and was officially named Louis Justin Laurent Icart.Icart fought in World War I. Icart was a successful banker to please the family. It was not until his move to Paris in 1907 that Icart would concentrate on painting, drawing and the production of countless beautiful etchings, which have served to indelibly preserve his name in twentieth century art history. When he returned from the front he made prints from those drawings. The prints, most of which were aquatints and drypoints, showed great skill. Because they were much in demand, These prints are considered rare today, and when they are in mint condition they fetch high prices at auction.Icart has created for us a picture of Paris and New York life in the 1920s and 1930s.
