Maschera
1928
Louis Icart's 'Masquerade' captures the glamorous, slightly naughty spirit of the Roaring Twenties with a dash of historical flair. A woman in a lavish fur coat and striking red heels leans back into the arms of a man dressed in 18th-century aristocratic garb, complete with a powdered wig and breeches. They stand before a heavy, dark curtain, hinting at a theatrical or private moment behind the scenes of a lavish party. This 1928 piece is a perfect example of Art Deco illustration, blending historical romance with the modern, sophisticated allure of Parisian nightlife.
