DEMETRE
H. CHIPARUS INFORMATION & HISTORY: MASTER OF ART DECO |
Sponsored
by:
| Demetre
H. Chiparus was born in Romania in 1886 and then traveled to Paris
before World War I to become more involved with his artwork. He
attended school in Italy and at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris,
and he exhibited at the Salon in 1914. Chiparus was particularly
adept in the technique of chryselephantine, the combination of
bronze and ivory to produce dramatic, stylized sculpture. He produced
most of his renowned works between 1914 and 1933. Paris was an
exciting place in the years leading up to World War II, when Art
Deco style and swinging good times were in vogue just as in
the United States. His later works in the 1920's were influenced
by his interest in Egypt, after the excavation of the Pharoah
Tutankhmen's tomb. Some of his most exciting works are dancers
taken from the Russian Ballet, French theatre, and early motion
pictures. Dancers were captured in movement, dressed in high art
deco style and long and lean in appearance. Demetre Chiparus worked
primarily with the Etling Foundry in Paris, and he died in Pairs
in 1947. Period Chiparus work almost always has a foundry name
and D. H. Chiparus signature etched in the marble, and usually
very hard to find and see. There are many reproduction on the
market, and signatures alone mean nothing. Look closely at areas
like the fingers; authentic period Chiparus sculptures typically
have long, slim fingers with such detail that you can clearly
make out each individual fingernail. Examine all the detail, the
age of the marble, age lines in the ivory, etc. and consult a
professional to protect yourself from unscrupulous dealers and
individuals.
