Original Description
Louis Icart’s Frolicking (HCI 117) is a mesmerizing Art Deco masterpiece that captures the exuberance and elegance of the Roaring Twenties. The painting depicts playful, sophisticated women entwined with lithe greyhounds, rendered in Icart’s signature style—fluid, dynamic lines softened by delicate shading and dreamy washes of color. Born in 1880, Icart became synonymous with the glamorous yet liberated spirit of early 20th-century Paris, blending influences from Impressionist luminosity and Japanese woodblock prints. Frolicking exemplifies his fascination with femininity, grace, and movement, embodying the Art Deco era’s celebration of modernity and luxury. Though initially dismissed by the fine art elite as "commercial," Icart’s works have since been reevaluated as vital cultural documents of interwar joie de vivre, coveted by collectors for their technical brilliance and nostalgic charm.
For interior styling, Frolicking lends itself beautifully to spaces that balance opulence and whimsy. Ideal for a living room or private study, its soft pastels and hints of gold harmonize with velvet upholstery, mirrored surfaces, or lacquered furniture typical of Art Deco interiors. Choose a gilded or ebony frame to accentuate its vintage allure, and hang it at eye level as a focal point—its moderate size (typical of Icart’s prints) works well above a console table or beside a Deco-style floor lamp. Pair it with jewel-toned accents like emerald or sapphire to deepen its warmth, or keep the palette airy with creams and champagnes for a subtler effect. In offices, it injects creative energy; layer it among black-and-white photography or modern abstracts to bridge timeless elegance with contemporary flair.
