Original Description
Louis Icart’s Retiring is a captivating Art Deco masterpiece exuding timeless elegance and sensuality. Created in the 1920s-30s, this etching and drypoint exemplifies Icart’s signature style—graceful female figures draped in flowing attire, rendered with meticulous detail and a soft, luminous quality. Set against dreamy, often Parisian-inspired backdrops, the work radiates both sophistication and subtle eroticism, embodying the glamour and liberation of the Jazz Age. Known as the "King of Prints," Icart bridged fine art and commercial illustration, making his work highly collectible yet accessible. Retiring reflects his mastery of chiaroscuro and delicate linework, securing his legacy as a defining artist of the Art Deco movement—though some critics dismissed his work as overly decorative during his lifetime, today it’s celebrated for its technical brilliance and nostalgic charm.
To showcase Retiring in your space, consider placing it in a refined setting like a bedroom or lounge, where its intimate mood can shine. Opt for a vintage-inspired frame with gold or black accents to complement its warm tonal palette and enhance its Art Deco origins. The medium size (typical Icart prints range from 12x16 to 20x30 inches) suits both intimate corners and statement walls. Pair it with rich textures—velvet upholstery, metallic decor, or lacquered furniture—to echo its luxurious vibe. For color harmony, introduce soft creams, deep blues, or blush pinks from the artwork into throw pillows or rugs. In an office, it adds sophistication without overpowering; balance it with minimalist furniture to let its intricate details take center stage.
