Title: Louis Icart Colored Etching "Seville" in original Frame

Description: Louis Icart "Seville" Colored artwork Etching in original frame circa 1982 Using the drypoint process, Icart could sketch an idea onto a blank copper or zinc plate. For this, he used a diamond point or another sharp tool. Accordingly, the incised lines would then hold and print the ink. Etching lines are created by using an acid to dissolve the plate in areas that are uncovered. The etched lines are typically the same width from one end to the other. Whereas, drypoint lines vary in their width, and darkness and may be missing in some areas. In the first runs of the plate, the edges of the lines exhibit a feathery appearance. Louis Icart (1890-1950): A French artist and considered the symbol of the Art Deco movement. His brilliant sketches and prints were seen throughout the world in fashion publications. It was not until his move to Paris in 1907 that Icart would concentrate on painting, drawing, and the production of countless beautiful etchings, which have served (more than the other mediums) to indelibly preserve his name in twentieth-century art history. 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 of Art Deco, and Icart had become the symbol of the epoch. Seville, 1900-1949 Colored Etching. Dimensions of 21 x 17"
