19345593Paris: Editions Excelsior 1934. First Edition. Original soft covers with a dedication by Icart to the half title "To Mr Ullmann who lived among the stars this play is where they and wings are spoken of." The cover shows Don Quichotte waving to aeroplanes' wings emblems of dread and aspiration alike. Although the Spanish civil war was still two years away the image is very evocative of a squadron of bombers on their way to Guernica. Louis Icart's sole book where the artist recasts Cervantes's Don Quixote as a dramatic play. In the climactic fifth act the revived knight-errant mounts a crusade across France against modernity's vices: the gaudy worship of the Golden Calf the idolatry of Mammon and the dominion of the mean-spirited and base. The covers are in good condition with a touch of edge wear and a little creasing to the spine. Rubbing to the spine edges. Internally clean and tidy with some darkening to the pages. Some pages uncut. 252 pages. 19cm x 13.5cm. Louis Icart 1888–1950 was primarily known as a French Art Deco painter printmaker and illustrator renowned for his glamorous etchings of elegant women. . Première édition. Couverture souple d'origine avec une dédicace d'Icart sur la page de garde : « À M. Ullmann qui vivait parmi les étoiles cette pièce parle d'elles et d'ailes. » La couverture montre Don Quichotte saluant les ailes d'avions emblèmes à la fois de terreur et d'aspiration. Bien que la guerre civile espagnole ne soit prévue que deux ans plus tard l'image évoque fortement une escadrille de bombardiers en route vers Guernica. Le seul ouvrage de Louis Icart dans lequel l'artiste réécrit Don Quichotte de Cervantes sous la forme d'une pièce de théâtre. Dans le cinquième acte qui constitue le point culminant le chevalier errant ressuscité mène une croisade à travers la France contre les vices de la modernité : le culte criard du Veau d'or l'idolâtrie de Mammon et la domination des mesquins et des vils. Les couvertures sont en bon état avec une légère usure des bords et quelques plis sur le dos. Frottements sur les bords du dos. L'intérieur est propre et soigné avec un léger noircissement des pages. Certaines pages ne sont pas rognées. 252 pages. 19 cm x 135 cm.

He also illustrated more than 30 books many highly erotic and became an accomplished painter. His paintings are more personal and less commercial than his etchings and reflect the fact that they were created largely for his own pleasure and not intended for a public audience. He died in Paris in 1950" Albany Fine Art. L. I. (Louis Icart) unknown
