ABOUT
Chiparus – The Master of Art Deco
Demetre Chiparus (1886-1947) was a prolific Romanian sculptor who moved to Paris in 1912 and married Julienne Lullier in 1925 to become naturalised in France, where he lived the rest of his life. He was renowned for his exquisite Art Deco sculptures which were purely decorative but avidly sought after by art connoisseurs. His work epitomized the opulence and elegance of the Roaring Twenties, an era marked by cultural and artistic transformation and was first exhibited in the Salon of 1914.
Chiparus' sculptures are characterized by their intricate detailing and superb craftsmanship. He frequently depicted dancers, athletes, and exotic figures, capturing their grace and movement with meticulous precision. His sculptures often featured materials such as ivory, bronze, and marble, showcasing his versatility and technical prowess.
Chiparus' works were highly sought after during his lifetime, and they continue to be cherished by collectors and art enthusiasts worldwide. His legacy as a pioneer of the Art Deco movement endures, influencing subsequent generations of sculptors and artists. Demetre Chiparus' sculptures not only represent a golden age of art but also serve as timeless reminders of the sophistication and glamour of the early 20th century.
