  3. The sculptures of Chiparus (Romanian, 1886-1947), reflect his time and 1920-1930s sentiment of “folle”. Coming from the oldest French tradition of high-quality and extra-artistic decorative arts, the sculptures of Demétre Chiparus combine elegance and luxury, embodying the spirit of the Art Deco epoch. Considered one of the brightest representatives of Art Deco, collector interest in his work appeared in the 1970s and has flourished since the 1990s

  5. After the tomb of Tutankhamun was in 1922 discovered, the art of ancient Egypt and the East came to French fashion and is also reflected in the creative activity of Chiparus Demétre H. Chiparus (Romanian, 1886-1947) Antinea The Art Deco Museum Moscow

  6. MuseoFortabat, Buenos Aires, Argentina Antinea, queen of the desert kingdom of Atlantis, was popularized in the 1919 novel, L'Atlantide, by Pierre Benoit, and the subsequent silent film, which was released in October 1921. The film was wildly successful and ran for more than a year in theaters, only to be revived in 1928

  7. Antinea was characterized as a seductive temptress, who lured men to her lair only to enbalm them in gold after she had her way with them. Scantily clad and wearing an Egyptian style headdress, Chiparus effectively captured Antinea's Oriental mystique Demétre H. Chiparus (Romanian, 1886-1947) Antinea

  12. “The use of chryselephantine sculpture was traditionally for religious items and its adoption by the Art Deco movement gave a suggestion of drama to Chiparus’ goddess-like figures. The subject chosen for this particular sculpture is synonymous with the theme of strong mystical women: the ficitional Saharan Antinea of Atlantis built a red marble mausoleum to store the bodies of her lovers, each plated in orichalcum, until all of the 120 catacombs were filled. She was then enthroned on an orichalcum throne in the centre for eternity.”

  35. 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.
