From the living estate of John Gleason, brutalist Arizona sculpture artist, capture the glamour and kinetic energy of the Roaring Twenties with this striking Art Deco style "Elegant Dancer" bronze sculpture. Heavily inspired by the iconic works of master sculptor Demetre Chiparus, this piece showcases a lithe female figure captured in a moment of pure theatrical movement and dramatic extension.

The dancer features an exquisite, heavily textured gown finished in a vibrant, rich crimson-red tone. Her elaborate costume is intricately detailed with geometric accents, including a standout star-motif breastplate and a coordinating cloche-style headdress, all finished in a contrasting brilliant gold patina. The dramatic drape of her skirt mirrors her sweeping pose, creating an exceptional sense of motion from every angle.

Crafted using traditional hot-cast techniques, the sculpture possesses excellent weight and sharp structural definition. It stands securely on a tiered, dark geometric stone pedestal base, accentuating its sleek 1920s aesthetic. A signature inscription is featured near the lower hem of her gown.

This statement piece serves as a sophisticated focal point for modern, Hollywood Regency, or classic Art Deco interiors
