Art Deco Brilliance – Bronze “Revue Dancer” - Signed Demetre Chiparus

This captivating Dancing Girl Statue captures the vibrant rhythm of the 1920s with exceptional elegance. Poised on a polished green marble base, the figure balances on one leg with arms extended, embodying both energy and harmony. Every fold of the dancer’s costume is modeled with precision so that light and shadow glide across the surface of the pure Bronze. Unlike many of Chiparus’s mixed-media works, this sculpture is entirely bronze, emphasizing the artist’s mastery even without ivory inlays.

Demetre Chiparus – Master of Art Deco

Born on September 16, 1886, in Dorohoi, Romania, Demetre Haralamb Chiparus—originally Dumitru Haralamb Chipăruș—became one of the most celebrated sculptors of the Art Deco era. After early studies in Bucharest and Florence, he moved to Paris to refine his craft at the prestigious École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris. There he blended classical technique with the modern elegance of the Parisian cultural scene. Many of his finest Demetre Chiparus Sculptures reflect his fascination with theater, ballet, and the glittering world of revue performances.

Technique and Material – Pure Chiparus Bronze

This exquisite Dancing Sculpture was created using the lost-wax process, or cire perdue, allowing the retention of even the most delicate details—from the serene facial features to the subtle textures of the costume. Unlike Chiparus’s famous chryselephantine pieces, this work is a completely bronze casting, showcasing the refined craftsmanship and warm patina unique to a true Chiparus Bronze.

Life and Artistic Ascent

Raised in a culturally engaged Romanian family, Chiparus showed early artistic promise. His journey through Italy and finally to France set the stage for a career that reached its height in the 1920s and 1930s. His Demetre Chiparus Sculptures often depict dancers inspired by the Ballets Russes and Parisian revue shows, and this dynamic Dancing Statue reflects that enduring passion for movement and dramatic expression.
