To keep in mind
Illustrator, a perfect colorist of the "roaring twenties," he exalted an era of which he was one of the first to understand that it would be defined by the image that women had of themselves. As no other artist, he embodied the "rococo" tone of Art Deco and managed to be modern, leaving us today with the inevitable impression of a time like no other.
Biography of Louis Icart
Louis Icart
Louis ICART, born in Toulouse in 1888, was the only artist of the "Art Deco" period to combine the elegance of "Rococo", the flamboyance of Art Nouveau, and a modern sense of movement and gesture.
Using models with modern features (high heels, lipstick, and short hair) and seamlessly integrating the fashion of his time, Icart portrayed a sweet and alluring image of Paris during the "Art Deco" period.
He was immensely popular in his time in France, but also in the United States, where he was nicknamed "The Parisian Dreamer".
He notably illustrated "La Nuit et le Moment" by Claude-Prosper Jolyot de Crébillon.
