  2. Demétre Haralamb Chiparus (1886 - 1947) the Romanian sculptor who worked in the style of chryselephantine technique, specialized in the dancer figurines, is considered one of the brightest representatives of Art Deco. Chiparus paid special attention to the transfer of the texture of exotic costumes. Diaghilev's Russian ballet, which had a huge impact on the artistic community of Europe, was a special love and source of inspiration for Chiparus.

  11. In 1909, Diaghilev presented his first Paris "Saison Russe" devoted exclusively to ballet (although the company did not use the name "Ballets Russes" until the following year). Most of this original company were resident performers at the Imperial Ballet of Saint Petersburg, hired by Diaghilev to perform in Paris during the Imperial Ballet's summer holidays. The Ballets Russes was noted for the high standard of its dancers, and Ayouta represents one of the dancers, most of whom had been classically trained at the great Imperial schools in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Their high technical standards contributed a great deal to the company's success in Paris, where dance technique had declined markedly since the 1830s.

  15. Principal female dancers included: Anna Pavlova, Tamara Karsavina, Olga Spessivtseva, MathildeKschessinska, Ida Rubinstein, BronislavaNijinska, Lydia Lopokova, Diana Gould and Alicia Markova, among others; many earned international renown with the company. The Ballet Russes was one of the major influences for DemetreChiparus's figurative works including Ayouta and Vested Dancer. Enjoying regular visits to the Dance Halls of Paris, Chiparus was enthused by the colourful, exotic costumes and lithe nubile bodies of the dancers and these traits are paramount in his sculptures. Chiparus also purchased all the magazines which illustrated the dancers. His wife and occasional models posed for him as he varied some of the photographed illustrations. He never wasted a good attitude, often using the same one with slight variations of arm position and costume for different figurines.

  41. The combination of "warm" ivory and pliable bronze became his trademark. Created by his hands, charming dancers of different eras and peoples are stunningly beautiful. Indian, Persian, French, Egyptian and Russian beauties are spinning, standing on tiptoe, bend their Swan necks, and pull refined wrists… Their intricate outfits, recreated in bronze, amaze the imagination. It seems simply unthinkable that the metal fell so lightest folds, turned around slender legs twisted in pirouette, hugged the chiseled waist, became a velvet, silk or the finest lace. Each fold of fabric is about to sway, each movement is waiting for completion; each bend of the body is the very perfection. Meanwhile, everyone who has seen his creations, discover a new attractive world created by a talented sculptor and striking special subtlety, stunning plastic, jewelry attention to every detail. Few people know that Chiparus, being a successful sculptor, painted pictures. They were painted not for commercial sale, but for personal pleasure. Amateur artist, Demétre preferred sketches with his wife Julienne Lullier, very rarely painted landscapes and still lives. Chiparus met Julienne, who was younger than him by sixteen years, in 1924. They eventually married in 1939, having lived together for fifteen years. They had no children. Although Chiparus made his sculptures based on specific living models, it was inevitable that Julienne's features, consciously or subconsciously, were attached to the images of dancers and medieval ladies. Models for sculptures by Chiparus were often specific dancers of the Parisian stage. Thus, the Hoop Dancer, created in 1928, depicts Zoula de Boncza, talented dancer from the Parisian theater of Folies Bergere, a first dancer of The Belgrado Royal Opera and a Mime dancer of l'Opéra-Comique in Paris, and the figures of the Persian Dance sculptural group had the features of the famous dancers of the Russian troupe of Vaslav Nijinsky and Ida Rubinstein.

  42. Icône de la culture populaire québécoise, Claude Léveillée a sorti plus de 30 albums en 40 ans de carrière et écrit plus de 450 chansons, dont quelques-unes (« Frédéric », « L'Étoile d'Amérique », «Le Vieux Piano ») sont parmi les plus populaires au Québec et en France. Toujours profondément senties et sincères et souvent imprégnées de nostalgie, les compositions de Léveillée et ses œuvres destinées au théâtre musical ont su rejoindre les publics les plus divers. Ses paroles s’inspirent en effet de thèmes universels tels que l’amour, la solitude et, à l’occasion, le désespoir. Il a été intronisé au Panthéon des Auteurs et Compositeurs canadiens et est membre de l’Ordre du Canada ainsi que chevalier de l’Ordre national du Québec et de la Légion d’honneur française. Pianiste autodidacte, Léveillée s’initie au clavier dès l’âge de cinq ans sans jamais prendre une seule leçon de musique. Il joue aussi de l’accordéon et de l’harmonica. Il poursuit ses études au Collège André-Grasset et reste au pensionnat du Collège de Montréal avant de suivre des cours d’économie et de sciences politiques à l’Université de Montréal
