The Night and the Moment Pl.1
1946
Louis Icart was the master of capturing the glamorous, slightly naughty side of Parisian life, and this piece is a perfect example of his signature style. A languid, partially undressed woman reclines on a plush blue chair while an older gentleman kisses her hand with theatrical devotion, all while a little white dog watches from the floor. Icart was famous for his etchings enhanced with delicate hand-coloring, giving his subjects that soft, dreamy glow that made them the ultimate Art Deco pin-ups. The title, 'The Night and the Moment,' hints at the playful, romantic encounters he loved to illustrate.
