  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.

  49. 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.
