Demetre Chiparus - An Art Deco gilt bronze sculpture of the
Madonna and Child circa 1925, mounted on a stepped black marble
base.
This is an extremely rare and beautiful bronze, a model we have
not seen before and one that is not included in the book Chiparus;
Master of Art Deco by Alberto Shayo. The stylised drapes of
the clothing as they fall to her feet and the way they surround
her face are so typical of the Art Deco period. The work of a
master sculptor, it can be viewed from any angle, each revealing
its beauty and serenely commanding presence, the back view
reminiscent of the forms of Constantin Brancusi, the front and
side views having the streamlined elegance of the Art Deco
movement. The finish is original with a warm richness to it and in
very good condition, just showing slight signs of wear in places,
that if anything, add to the overall beauty.
