Description : Gay trio

Retouched and hand painted etching. Signed with pencil bottom right. Louis Icart, born in Toulouse in 1888, moved to Paris in 1907, where he devoted himself to painting, to graphic illustrations, quickly becoming one of the main exponents of Art Déco, reaching fame both in Europe and in the United States in the 1920s and 1930s. It is peculiar, in his production, the representation of sensual and provocative female figures, often clearly erotic, but always in a very ironic and humorous. Horses, dogs and cats often appear as co-protagonists of the scene. In this etching, dated 1936, all of these elements of his can be recognized: the femme fatale, inside a club, sitting in a sensual way on the tall bar stool, accompanied by... two nice dogs, one which is even drinking with a straw!

Etching (in Latin as aqua fortis) was once used to describe the nitric acid, also called stain. Today it refers to a type of printing and the way to produce it. The etching technique was known since ancient times and was used for engraving decorations on weapons. Some of the first to use it for fine art prints have been Albrecht Dürer in Germany and Parmigianino in Italy.
