Bronze Sculpture, In the manner of DH Chiparus, Comes with Marble/Onyx Base (some variations of marble and patina may occur), Size Approx. 18"x7.5"x5" in. /// Demetre Haralamb Chiparus (or simply Chiparus) was a Romanian Art Deco era sculptor who lived and worked in Paris. Chiparus was born in Romania on September 16, 1886. The first sculptures of Chiparus employed the combination of bronze and ivory, called chryselephantine. Most of his renowned works were made between 1914 and 1933. Since the early 1940s almost no works of Chiparus were sold but he continued sculpting for his own pleasure, depicting animals in the Art Deco style. Collector interest in the work of Chiparus appeared in the 1970s and has flourished since the 1990s. A major collection of Chiparus' work is on display in the permanent collection of Casa Lis, the art nouveau and art deco museum in Salamanca, Espana.
