Original Description
Au Revoir by Louis Icart (1888-1950) epitomizes the glamorous elegance of the Art Deco era, capturing a dreamlike Parisian sophistication. This evocative etching depicts a fashionable woman gazing wistfully through a rain-streaked window, her poised silhouette framed by delicate drapery and the shimmering city lights beyond. Created during Icart's artistic peak in the 1920s-30s, the work showcases his masterful blending of Belle Époque romanticism with modernist crispness - note how the meticulous cross-hatching technique contrasts with the bold, simplified forms characteristic of Art Deco. The melancholic yet sensual atmosphere reflects Icart's recurring themes of feminine beauty and transient moments, establishing him as the premier etcher of Jazz Age luxury. As one of his most reproduced images, Au Revoir remains significant in documenting bourgeois fantasies during the interwar period, bridging traditional printmaking with commercial appeal that defined early 20th-century decorative arts.
For interior applications, Au Revoir's muted sepia tones demand thoughtful placement in spaces receiving warm ambient lighting - consider flanking with brass sconces in a study or upscale boutique dressing room. The vertical composition (typical 19×25 inch print size) pairs beautifully with tall architectural elements like wainscoting or slender floor lamps. In contemporary settings, layer it with matte black frames against blush pink walls for modern contrast, or go traditional with gilded frames amid dark wood paneling. For offices, position opposite large windows where natural light can simulate the painting's own luminous quality. The artwork works particularly well in bedrooms or sitting areas where its contemplative mood can be appreciated at leisure, complemented by velvet furnishings and crystal decanters to echo its vintage glamour. When scaling for different spaces, maintain the original proportions to preserve the delicate balance between figure and environment that defines its charm.
