Demetre Chiparus is perhaps the most famous exponent of the art deco figurine in bronze. Chiparus (1886-1947) was Romanian-born but worked in Paris sculpting theatrical subjects as well as dancers from the stage in elegant poses and costumes. Some of the most famous Chiparus deco sculptures include Friends Forever (Eternal Friends), Innocence, Antinea, Thais, Semiramis and the Starfish Dancer. |
