NEW PRICE! THE LIONESS" BY D.H. CHIPARUS MEASURES 11" X 28" WT. 15 KILOS
Demetre H. Chiparus was born in Romania in 1886. He moved to Paris before World War I to become more involved in the arts. He schooled in Italy, and at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. Chiparus exhibited at the Salon in 1914. Chiparus excelled 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. Art Deco blossomed in Paris in the years leading up to World War II. Swing and Art Deco were in vogue in Paris and 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. Demetre Chiparus worked primarily with the Etling Foundry in Paris. He died in Paris in 1947. Period Chiparus work almost always has D. H. Chiparus signature etched in the marble, and usually very hard to find and see. This item is from the Charles Attias collection
