Small tear and a little creasing to bottom right hand corners front cover dustjacket.; "Chiparus: Master of Art Deco" by Alberto Shayo offers a comprehensive examination of the life and work of Demétre Chiparus, one of the most influential sculptors of the Art Deco era. Renowned for his exquisite chryselephantine sculptures that capture the elegance and dynamism of the period, Chiparus's works are characterized by their intricate detail, refined forms, and the luxurious materials used, such as bronze, ivory, and gold. Shayo delves into Chiparus's artistic process, exploring how his Romanian roots and subsequent experiences in Paris influenced his style, which often depicted theatrical subjects, dancers, and historical figures in vivacious poses. The book also discusses the technological innovations of the time that allowed Chiparus to experiment with different materials and techniques, enhancing the textural effects and lifelike quality of his sculptures. Shayo provides critical analysis alongside high-quality images of Chiparus's key works, offering readers not only a visual feast but also insightful context into the socio-economic and cultural currents that shaped the Art Deco movement. This book solidifies Chiparus's legacy as a master sculptor whose works encapsulated the glamour and sophistication of early twentieth-century decorative arts.; Folio; 287 pages.
