- Sobre la obra de arteHighly 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.

Louis Icart (Louis Icart, 1888-1950) - Pintor, dibujante, grabador e ilustrador francés, autor de numerosas obras de contenido glamoroso.
El estilo de pintura de Icart se basó en los maestros franceses del siglo XVIII, como Jean-Antoine Watteau, François Boucher y Jean-Honoré Fragonard. Sus dibujos fueron influenciados por Edgar Degas y Claude Monet; sus raras acuarelas tenían rasgos de los simbolistas Odilon Redon y Gustave Moreau. Muchas de sus primeras pinturas atmosféricas están en tonos marrones, dorados y rojos; sin embargo, sus imágenes se volvieron más brillantes durante su carrera.
Las representaciones de mujeres de Icart eran en su mayoría sensuales, a menudo eróticas, pero también siempre divertidas y llenas de sexualidad insinuada o directa. En sus cuadros, bellas cortesanas jugueteaban sobre gruesos almohadones con expresiones faciales llenas de pasión, consternación o sorpresa. Caballos, perros o gatos a menudo formaban parte de sus temas.
Icart realizó más de 500 grabados e ilustró más de 30 libros. Icart murió en su casa parisina en 1950
