DEMETRE CHIPARUS (1866-1947) EGYPTIAN DANCER BRONZE REPLICA STATUE WITH RED AND GREEN POLYCHROME ON MARBLE PEDESTAL 28" H. x 9" W. Demetre Haralamb Chiparus (also known as Dumitru Chiparus) (16 September 1886, Dorohoi, Romania - 22 January 1947, Paris, France) was a Romanian Art Deco era sculptor who lived and worked in Paris. Sculptures of Dimitri Chiparus represent the classical manifestation of Art Deco style in decorative bronze sculpture. Traditionally, these factors of influence over the creative activity of the artist can be distinguished: Serge Diaghilevs Ballets Russes, ancient Egyptian art, and French theatre. Early motion pictures were among his more notable subjects and were typified by figures with a long, slender, stylized appearance. Some of his sculptures were directly inspired by Russian dancers.
