Louis Justin Laurent Icart was born in Toulouse in 1890 and lived in New York City in the 1920s, where he became known for his Art-Deco color etchings of women. It was through Icart’s love for the theater that he developed a taste for the arts. It was not until he moved to Paris that Icart began painting, drawing and creating etchings that would immortalize him within the art world.
