Louis Justin Laurent Icart was born in Toulouse in 1890 and died in Paris in 1950.. He entered the l’Ecole Supérieure de Commerce de Toulouse in order to studies for a career in banking (his father’s profession).

Icart soon discovered the play writings of Victor Hugo (1802-1885). Overwhelmed by the tales of romantic imagery and the dilemmas of the human condition, he developed a taste for all the arts, It was not until his move to Paris in 1907 that Icart would concentrate on painting, drawing and the production of countless etchings, which have served preserve his name in twentieth century art history. Art Deco had taken its grip on the Paris of the 1920s, and by the late 1920s Icart, working for both publications and major fashion and design studios, had become very successful, both artistically and financially. His etchings reached their height of brilliance in this era, and Icart became the symbol of the epoch. Icart worked in his own style, derived principally from the study of eighteenth-century French masters such as Jean Antoine Watteau, François Boucher and Jean Honoré Fragonard. In 1914 Icart had met Fanny Volmers, at the time an employee of the fashion house Paquin. She would eventually become his wife and a source of artistic inspiration for the rest of his life. Icart’s portrayal of women is usually sensuous, often erotic.
