Beschreibung
The Romanian sculptor and bronze caster Demeter H. Chiparus was born in 1886 in Dorohoi, a town near the border of today's Ukraine. In 1909, at the age of 23, he travelled to Florence to apprentice with the sculptor Rafaello Romanelli (1856-1928). Three years later he moved to Paris and entered the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, where he studied under the influences of Jean Antonin Mercié (1845-1916) and Jean Boucher (1870 - 1939). He changed his first name from Demeter to Demétre. As early as 1914, he exhibited his statuettes at the Salon des Artistes Français and immediately received an award, together with his American artist colleague Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848 - 1933). His works perfectly embodied the post WWI zeitgeist. He depicted modern young women in contemporary, uncorseted attire, with short hairstyles. His most spectacular creations were inspired by Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, and were often portraits of famous dancers such as Vaslav Nijinsky and Ida Rubinstein. He also portrayed the American expressive dancer Isadora Duncan on several occasions. His primary period of production was between 1918 and 1933, when he worked mainly with the Parisian caster, editor and businessman Edmond Etling. Most of his pieces are signed ""Chiparus"" or ""D.H. Chiparus"", with the initial H used in memory of his father Haralamb. His works are documented in the exhibitions of the Salon up until 1939. He died in Paris in 1947.
