Original Description
Frou Frou by Louis Icart (1920s) is a quintessential Art Deco masterpiece that epitomizes the glamorous yet mischievous spirit of the Roaring Twenties. This etching and hand-colored drypoint depicts a sophisticated Parisian woman adjusting her stockings with feline grace, her flounced dress (the "frou frou" of rustling fabric) cascading around her like liquid silk. Against an ornately patterned screen, the scene exudes playful eroticism through Icart’s signature style—sinuous lines, dramatic chiaroscuro, and Japonisme-inspired compositions. As one of Icart’s most reproduced works, Frou Frou embodies the democratization of luxury in interwar Europe, blending high art with commercial appeal. Today, it remains a touchstone for the Art Deco movement’s celebration of female autonomy and decorative excess.
For interiors, Frou Frou thrives in spaces balancing opulence and modernism. Ideal for a dressing room or lounge, its gold/sepia tones pair beautifully with velvet upholstery in emerald or burgundy, while the black-and-white etching version suits monochrome offices. Frame it in a gilded Rococo-revival frame (for maximalist spaces) or a sleek ebony border (for contemporary settings) to amplify its duality. A medium size (24x36 inches) makes it a focal point without overwhelming; in smaller rooms, position it as part of a salon-style Art Deco collection. Contrast its warmth with metallic accents or mirrored furniture, reinforcing the Jazz Age allure. Keep lighting soft—a vintage brass sconce would cast delicate shadows, echoing Icart’s mastery of light and texture.
