Vintage D.H. Chiparus Art Deco Bronze/Porcelain“Les Girls” Sculpture Marble Base
About the Item
This vintage D.H. Chiparus Art Deco sculpture, titled "Les Girls," features a beautiful depiction of women in motion. The sculpture is crafted from bronze and porcelain, with a marble base providing a sturdy foundation. The Art Deco style is evident in the sleek lines and bold geometric shapes, making this piece a stunning addition to any art collection.
Only four examples of the larger five-figure model are presently known, each displaying different patina colors in brilliant green or dark brown cat suits. Chiparus’ “Les Girls” most likely draws from The Ballet Russes. Like Leon Bakst’s ballerinas, Chiparus’ figures are clothed in their own nudity. Their costumes disclose Paris’ new found fascination with the body and its expressing moving form.
Demeter H. Chiparus was a Romanian sculptor of the Art Deco - era who lived and worked in Paris, France. He was one of the most important sculptors of the time. Factors of influence over the creative activity of the artist can be influenced by Serge Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes, ancient Egyptian art and French theatre.
This sculpture according to Chiparus is not merely a decorative object but a piece of history and statement of artistic taste. It ties to both the opera world as well as the Art Deco movement to make it a conversation starter.
