Louis Icart Art

Today I went to an antique showing & at this showing there was also a gallery full of really beautiful paintings by Louis Icart. I learned today that Louis Icart was a French artist (1880-1950) who was very interested in fashion. He has done art for famous companies such as Vogue. He was also famous for his erotic works of women. There were a few erotic paintings & some of the titles made my friend & I giggle because we are immature that way sometimes, but the art is ... well you could say intriguing. ;) My personal favorite is the painting of the girl with the baby elephants. There is something so sweet & elegant about it that I love. If I could afford it I would have definitely bought it.. I kept going back to look at it.

  3. The art style is very soft and whimsical. :D I would have been in the same boat as you, though, regarding the erotic works. #>_># Nudity is one thing, but I get embarrassed if something is too "heated", if that makes any sense. ^_^;;

  6. Actually sorry Ken you were right. I misread the prices!!! They were expensive. Although there were a few cheaper ones these are the expensive ones!!! I guess that is art though.
