Louis Justin Laurent Icart (French, 1888 – 1950) dedicated himself to painting, drawing, and etching. Icart, in demand throughout his career, captured the essence of the Art Deco period. Another artist who succeeded during the Art Deco period was Fanny Volmers Icart (French, 1896 – 1970). In 1914, the artists met, and Fanny began modeling for many of Louis Icart’s works. They fell in love, and Fanny became Louis’ muse. Portrait de Fanny by Louis Icart is a notable oil on canvas featuring Fanny Volmers Icart. It leads the upcoming Memorial Sale of Modern & Contemporary Art, presented by Dane Fine Art. Completed in 1935, the portrait features Fanny posing elegantly in a loose gown. Her bright tresses highlight her sharp and feminine features against a dark background.
