  2. Demétre Chiparus (Romanian, 1886-1947), is perhaps the most famous proponent of Bronze and Ivory Art Deco figurines and certainly one of the most important sculptors of the Art Deco period. His sculptures are admired for their elegance and style and are much sought after by Art Deco collectors. His sculptures are characterised by exquisite modeling of the female form, combining highly decorative and elaborate details with stunning touches of Art Deco style.

  41. Art Deco originated as a style in 1908 — 1912, and reached its peak between 1925 and 1935 years. The term itself comes from the name of the International Exhibition of Decorative Arts and Crafts of 1925 year (Exposition Internationale des Art Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes). But, as a term of artistic style, it was mentioned in 1966 year, after the Exhibition revival in Paris. Art Deco is appeared by the influence of Art Nouveau, Cubism and Bauhaus on the one hand, and, the Ancient Art of Egypt, East, Africa and America on the other hand. Art Deco combined the neoclassical style and smoothness, gracefulness and playfulness, monumentality and elegance at the same time. The representatives of this style ignored the mass industrial production of goods, they stood for the exclusive manufacture of objects. In the manufacture of products they used valuable and expensive materials such as snakeskin, ivory, bronze, crystals, exotic wood. The favorite forms were geometric patterns of six-, eight-squares, ovals and circles, triangles and rhombuses. They also widely used plant forms of recently distributed Art Nouveau, various quotes from classicism, but also borrowings from Egyptian, African and other Exotic cultures. Thus, Art Deco can distinguish many styles: elegant, classic, expressive, exotic, and various modernist versions. The cultural movement based on Egyptian themes is often referred to as Orientalism. The terms covers a great deal, from the 'Japonisme' that provided motifs and colour schemes for Art Nouveau designs to the vivid colours and exotic form adopted by Parisian fashion designers like Poiret. A great measure of the Ballets Russes's success is attributed to its 'Orientalist' colours, costumes and even story lines. Diaghilev, ever the shrewd businessman, recognised the force of this appeal. In his early Paris seasons, he had offered ballets from the classic repertoire, such as 'Gaselle' and 'Les Sylphised', but soon abandoned these in favour of works with a clearly Orientalist theme. Many of the Chiparus bronze figures show the influence of Orientalism, whether it be in their costumes and jewellery, their headgear, or their poses. Often the titles of his pieces bear witness to a direct Oriental influence.
