About the Item
This expressive Art Deco sculpture titled “Joie” (French for “Joy”) beautifully captures the spirit of movement and vitality characteristic of the Art Deco era. The nude female dancer, mid-leap, balances a discus with dynamic grace and exudes confidence and freedom.
The design was created by Garcia for the iconic Parisian foundry Max Le Verrier, known for its high-quality Art Deco decorative art. Cast in Spelter (French: Régule) – a favored material in the period for its ability to render delicate facial expressions and fluid body lines – this piece is a testament to refined craftsmanship.
The sculpture’s original green patina has matured over time. The surface is a telltale sign of age and add authenticity and vintage charm to the piece.
It stands on a conical blackened metal base that provides both visual contrast and structural stability.

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.
