Legend of Bronze Sculpture: Louis Justin Icart

Louis Justin Icart was born September 12, 1888 in France. His second wife, Fanny, as well as the city of Paris, which was the uncontested international center of beauty and art, were his inspiration for much of his work. During his forty-year artistic career Icart delighted lovers of Art Deco, a fashion directed almost exclusively towards women, on both sides of the Atlantic. Art Deco was a period of perfection of workmanship and this factor in Icart's work related him to the period.

Today his witty, joyful, and often poignant images of women of France have found a new generation of admirers.
