Art Nouveau Dancer of Kapathurl 28 Sculpture Lamp By Artist Demetre Chiparus. By the early 2th-century sculpture of Romanian-born and Paris-trained artist Demetre Chiparus. This over two-foot-tall illuminated sculpture gracefully balances a pair of 5½-diameter frosted glass globes. Standing in a bower of roses, the artist's demure miss shows off her detailed, period costume artistically cast in quality designer resin and hand-painted in faux gold and ivory.
Switch on cord; accepts a 25-watt bulb. Chiparus was an Art-Deco era sculptor of dancers who lived and worked in Paris. His sculptures were renowned, produced between 1914 and 1933, and made in a combination of bronze and ivory that allowed for dramatic, stylized structure, a technique known as Chryselephantine.
His later works in the 1920s were influenced by Chiparus's growing fascination with Egypt. Chiparus sculptures early on were created in realism and exhibited at the Salon in 1914.
After Pharaoh Tutankhamen's tomb was excavated in 1922, Chiparus created sculptures inspired by Egypt, such as Egyptian Dancer. Some of Chiparus's most exciting sculptures of dancers taken from the Russian Ballet, French theatre, early motion pictures, and opera, as can be seen in Thais Dancer. Sculptures such as Peacock Fan Dancer are captured in movement, highly Art Deco in style, appearing very long and lean. Demetre came from the old French tradition of high-quality and extra-artistic decorative arts, thus the sculptures of Chiparus embodied the Art Deco movement by combining elegance and luxury.
