The story behind:
In 1928, Max Le Verrier designed after a live model, the famous CLARTÉ, a woman with a
illuminated ball - the main piece of his artistic work.
In fact, he needed three different models:
one for the head, one for the upper part of the body and one for the legs. For this last part he asked an African-American dancer who played in the shows of Josephine BAKER.
The work picks up the theme of the female nude in a very aesthetic way and at the same time symbolize the time of the Art Deco with its typical hairstyle and simplicity in their line.
This decorative, illuminated figure is available in 4 sizes:
a nearly life-size bronze in 1.60 meters
one version with 85 cm, as well as 2 smaller versions
in 65 cm (Lumina) and 38 cm (LUEUR LUMINEUSE).

Max Le Verrier
Max Le Verrier was born on January 29, 1891, in Neuilly-sur-Seine. He opened his studio in 1919 and won a medal at the famed 1925 Exposition in Paris that gave Art Deco its name. Later, he established a foundry that cast bronze sculptures for Pierre Le Faguays and Marcel Bourain, among others. Although Le Verrier experimented with other alloys, he continued to create pieces in bronze as well. Le Verrier died on June 6, 1973, in Paris.
