Engraving / etching, “young man with dogs” louis icart, art nouveau, s. Xx - france
wonderful art nouveau engraving made … more Engraving / etching, “young man with dogs” louis icart, art nouveau, s. Xx - france
wonderful art nouveau engraving made at the beginning of the 20th century by louis icart (1888 - 1950). A woman is represented accompanied by four large dogs, which run quickly to the viewer's right. There is, then, a contrast between the stylized, graceful and sensual female figure, and the dynamism and strength of the dogs. Dynamic atmosphere, perhaps necessary for the action that the young woman will perform, as she raises her right arm, with which she is holding a ball. Louis icart worked mainly etchings, combined with watercolor and pencil techniques. Signed by the artist in the lower right area.
about the artist
louis icart's drawings and engravings of sensual, glamorous women and parisian nightlife became a symbol of the art nouveau and art deco movement. These female figures in seductive poses, often in the guise of the courtesan or temptress, were widely published in the 1920s and 1930s, and brought her great professional and financial success.
born in 1888, in toulouse, his interest began at an early age, so in 1907 he began studying painting, drawing and engraving. He was greatly influenced by 18th century painters such as jean-antoine watteau, françois boucher and jean honoré fragonard, although he also drew on artists such as gustave moreau, closer to his generation. He was especially drawn to fashion sketches and designs during the period when the industry was undergoing a revolution, from the conservative designs of the 19th century to the simplicity of the early 20th century. He worked in important fashion studios, his initials “l.i” in women's clothing enjoyed great prestige. While fighting in world war i, he continued to draw on every available surface to protect himself from distress. Icart's financial and artistic success came in the late 1920s. His work appeared in fashion publications and design studios in europe and the united states. He died in 1950 at his home in montmartre, france.
