Roland Paris Bronze Statue Glider 1933 Schneider Grunau Baby Glider

1933

About the Item

Roland Paris Bronze Statue Glider 1933. This glider was originally based on the Schneider Grunau Baby Glider from 1931. It held the world record for the longest continuous flight, over 22 hours, and was the most flown glider until 1935. This scarce piece was initially exhibited at the Marienpalast Exhibition in 1933. It is not typical of the kind of statues rendered by the artist. It is in original condition with an exceptional, almost anodized-looking finish. Roland Paris (1894-1945) was born in Vienna, Austria. He went to Berlin and studied with Henry van der Velde, co-founder of the Bauhaus school. His specialty was humorous, sometimes sad, and occasionally satirical bronze and ivory figures, often with exaggerated facial expressions. His works command high prices and are sought after by avid collectors. For the past 15 years, I've been a 1stDibs Furniture dealer with Platinum status. We've always sold fine art on this “furniture" platform and have recently started selling our Art Deco Fine Art here on 1stDibs in addition to our Furniture platform. Roland Paris is one of the most recognizable artists of the Art Deco world, yet his work remains an enigma. His art is caricature-like, bordering grotesque, and he delivers critical perspectives on society’s downtrodden via jesters and devils. His mediums range from sculpture and painting to porcelain and wood, including woodcuts and the written word” Alberto Shayo.

  • Lucien Charles E. Alliot French Art Deco Bronze The Gazelles 1930
    By Lucien Alliot
    Located in Oakland, CA
    Lucien Alliot French Art Deco Bronze The Gazelles 1930. The brown patina on a marble base signed on the bronze L Alliot and stamped bronze on the deer. This particular piece has exceptional rhythm where the two gazelles interplay in a movement depicting leaping over the hills or water—a very three-dimensional treatment showing the movement of the animals. Lucien Charles Eduoard Alliot (1877-1967), the sculptor, was born in 1877 Paris, France. His work was part of the sculpture event in the art competition at the 1924 Summer Olympics. He exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français, was a member and the gold medal in 1920, out of competition, and was a member of the sculpture jury from 1934 to 1939. Alliot was well known for his figurative sculptures, exhibited at the Salon de Paris for many years. He received a third-place award in 1907 (which included funds for travel expenses) and a first-place award l in 1920. After he declared himself out of the artistic competition, he became a jury member at the Salon evaluating sculptural works from 1934 to 1939. Alliot created several allegorical groups, La Paix in 1939, and several religious illustrations: Sacré Cœur in 1924, La Vierge Marie...
