Demétre Haralamb Chiparus was a Romanian Art Deco era sculptor who lived and worked in Paris, France.
He was one of the most important sculptors of the Art Deco era.
Sculptures of Chiparus represent the classical manifestation of Art Deco style in decorative bronze and ivory sculpture.
Traditionally, four factors influenced his creative activity
*the Russian Ballets of Serge Diaghilev's, Nijinsky and Rubinstein
*ancient Egyptian art,
*French theatre, music halls and cabarets
*Early motion pictures and fashion magazines with dancers, stars and models
Which made him create figures with a long, slender, stylized appearance. like the faces of “Persian Dance” and the dress in “Starfish Girl” exactly reproduces the sketch for Goldfish's dress from the ballet “Underwater kingdom” by Lev Annensky.
After the tomb of Tutankhamun was discovered in 1922, the art of ancient Egypt and the East came to French fashion, and was also reflected in the creative activity of Chiparus. Several sculptures by Chiparus and Claire Colinet represent Queen Cleopatra and Egyptian dancers. The sculptures of Chiparus reflect his time and 1920-1930s sentiment of "folle".
Coming from the oldest French tradition of high-quality and extra-artistic decorative arts, the sculptures of Chiparus combine elegance and luxury, embodying the spirit of the Art Deco epoch.
Collector interest in the work of Chiparus appeared in the 1970s and has flourished since the 1990s. A major collection of Chiparus' work is on display in the permanent collection of Casa Lis, the art nouveau and art deco museum in Salamanca, Spain
