Artist Biography: Dimitri Chiparus (1886-1947) was active in Paris during the flowering of the Art Deco style in the 1920's, and today is regarded as the master of Art Deco bronzes. His sculpture highlights the timeless beauty of the dancers and fashion of the period. Whether his subjects are femmes fatales or demure heroines, all of Chiparus's women possess the idealized attitudes of the dance and the erotic posturings of the music hall. Their bodies are lithe and active, glorying in freedom, knowing no constraints. Their costumes reflect the elegant fashions of the day.

Each artwork is finished with a deep, rich patina that is fused under high heat into the bronze itself, so it will endure for hundreds of years.
