Ayouta Dancer Sculpture By Demeter H. Chiparus 1925

Sublime chryselephantine sculpture "The Ayouta Dancer" 1925, by the icon of Art Deco sculpture, Demeter H. Chiparus (1886-1947), considered one of his most emblematic sculptures.
A female figure of great preciousness, in the purest Art Deco spirit, in patinated and cold-painted polychrome bronze, on a geometric onyx base. It represents an exotic dancer in a dynamic and graceful pose.
In interwar Paris, the mood was festive.
Cabarets and music halls were packed. A cabaret enthusiast, Chiparus embraced this euphoria and made it his own.
This is how dancers and ballerinas became his favorite subjects in the 1920s.
To create his tall, slender, and stylized figurines, so representative of the Art Deco spirit, Chiparus drew his inspiration from the Ballet Russe, which was very fashionable in Paris.
This piece has been appraised and authenticated by an auctioneer. Chiparus remains one of the most sought-after modern sculptors on the market, and his value continues to rise. Signed on the base.
