The year 1988 marked the 100th anniversary of Louis Icart's birth. There were no parades of large celebrations, but Louis and his wife Fanny would certainly have been grateful at the great resurgence of interest in his artwork. This newly expanded book Louis Icart: The Complete Etchings now includes over 500 different etchings, painstakingly acquired and photographed. Particular attention has been given to the early years 1911-1924, when Icart was a relatively unknown artist and his edition sizes were small. With few exceptions, the book contains large, full color illustrations which give the reader a true representation of the full-size etchings. The authors William R. Holland, Clifford P. Catania, and Nathan D. Isen clarify some of the existing confusion surrounding Icart's work, explaining the variations in his signature, the use of the "Windmill" seal and other seals, and the myriad of copyright notations found on his etchings. The etchings have been carefully measured and dated. More pages, more pictures, and many picture upgrades make this book bigger and better than previous editions which is why all the major auction houses use it as their Icart "bible." There is also a new chapter on the etchings of other Deco artists. This is a great addition to the Icart legacy.
