Kindle Unlimited Chiparus: Master of Art Deco Any Format

Born in Romania, Demetre Chiparus (1886-1947) studied in Italy and France before settling in Paris, where he perfected the chryselephantine technique of combining ivory with bronze. Produced as multiples, his works were greatly admired as small-scale decorative objects and today are among the most coveted objects from the Art Deco period, capturing the lively and sensuous spirit of the time.This lavishly illustrated volume examines Chiparus's work as an embodiment of the Art Deco style. The author explores the various contemporary inspirations for the sculptor's art, including haute couture, the music hall, Diaghilev's ballets, and the stage designs of Leon Bakst. Focusing on Chiparus's bronze and ivory pieces, he outlines their development from idea through finished piece, with illustrations of plasteline models that document the artist's working methods. The book provides much previously unknown information about Chiparus's life and this new edition also offers an appendix devoted to his newly rediscovered paintings. https://skidipap343.blogspot.com/?book=0789205947 Kindle Unlimited Chiparus: Master of Art Deco any format Description Born in Romania, Demetre Chiparus (1886-1947) studied in Italy and France before settling in Paris, where he perfected the chryselephantine technique of combining ivory with bronze.

The sale features 100 lots spanning a wide variety of styles and materials from the beginning of 20th century until the present day; estimates range from £1,000 to £300,000. The Heart of the Rose and The White Rose and the Red Rose (estimate: £200,000-300,000 for each panel), a pair of painted and jewelled gesso panels by Scottish artist Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh (1864-1933), were first displayed in the Rose Boudoir at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative Art in Turin, 1902. The Rose Boudoir, the result of a collaboration between Margaret and her husband Charles Rennie Mackintosh, defined a moment of consummate refinement in the evolution of the couple’s oeuvre and these panels played a pivotal role. Remaining strongly representative of the Glasgow avant-garde, they illustrate the rose theme in a lyrical, symbolist manner in a subtle evocation of maternal and sensual love.

The key to buying bronzes is to acquire the skill of identifying where a specific bronze stands on this continuum - the ‘same’ bronze may occur at several points, according to its edition, so novices need to be careful. 2 Several things determine value. First, of course, the artist. With anonymous works or those by lesser artists, period and school are important; because of the unparalleled achievement of French bronzes during the nineteenth century, the Bronze figure of a bull cast 7 after a model by Rosa designation ‘French’ nearly always adds value - as does ‘Art Deco.’ Bonheur, standing with raised Rarity is also important: early casting in a long series are far more sought after tail, brown/green patination, than later ones, and some bronzes are limited editions.

Michael Ayrton and the Myth of Daedalus, the Maze Maker, Jacob E
Myth and the Creative Process: Michael Ayrton and the Myth of Daedalus, the Maze Maker, Jacob E. Nyenhuis, Wayne State University Press, 2003, 0814330029, 9780814330029, 345 pages. In a century that was dominated by science and technology, the wide-ranging artwork of Michael Ayrton (1921-75) is truly a tribute to the enduring power of Greek myth. Theorists often discuss the link between myth and creativity, but rarely does one see this connection manifested so provocatively over the course of an artistÐ²Ð‚â„¢s career. Fittingly, this British sculptor, painter, author, filmmaker, and maze designer was inspired by the story of the archetypal craftsman DaedalusÐ²Ð‚â€•father of Icarus and maker of the labyrinth that imprisoned the MinotaurÐ²Ð‚â€•and produced over 800 works that in turn enhance the mythÐ²Ð‚â„¢s significance. Highlighting the interaction between myth and artist, word and image, Jacob Nyenhuis here presents a catalogue of these works, one that will enlighten AyrtonÐ²Ð‚â„¢s British following while introducing him to an American audience.A nonconformist who challenged PicassoÐ²Ð‚â„¢s reign over the art world, Ayrton found in Daedalus a richly complex story of captivity and escape, ingenuity and creativity, flight and fall, success and failure. AyrtonÐ²Ð‚â„¢s own journey into the labyrinth set him on a torturous path through life and into the psyche: he came to identify himself not only with the craftsman but also with the Minotaur, representative of the bestial nature hidden within all of us. He ultimately created a new visual syntax that expanded the meaning of the labyrinth in disturbing ways for the twentieth century.

For Immediate Release May 22, 2008 Contact: Milena Sales 212.636.2680 [email protected] CHRISTIE’S NEW YORK TO SELL IMPORTANT PRIVATE COLLECTION OF FRENCH AND IVORY FIGURES IN 20th CENTURY DECORATIVE ARTS & DESIGN SALE THIS JUNE New York - Christie’s New York will offer an extraordinary private collection of French bronze and ivory figures at its 20th Century Decorative Arts & Design on June 13. The total sale estimate for the 18 works offered from the collection is $1.9-2.7 million. No sculptor has captured the spirit of the Roaring Twenties as perfectly as Demetre Chiparus with his spectacular sculptures in decorated bronze and carved ivory. Inspired by Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes and Paul Poiret’s orientalist fashions, Chiparus conceived striking, dramatically poised representations of dancers that provide a compelling evocation of the exciting revues that electrified Paris theatre and music hall around the time of the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs in 1925. The splendid private collection of eighteen lots presented in the sale has been carefully assembled over many years and includes rare and fabulous examples of Chiparus’s artistry, notably his lotus-position figure of `Civa’ (estimate: $250,000-350,000) and the group compositions `Les Girls’ (estimate: $90,000-120,000) and `Ballets Russes’ (estimate: $200,000-300,000). A further highlight by Chiparus is the exceedingly rare sculpture of the `Leotard Dancer’ (estimate $120,000-180,000). Claire J.R. Colinet is represented at his most extravagant by the exotic `Ankara’ dancer’ (estimate: $140,000- 180,000) a consummate expression of this inspired sculptor’s distinctive style.
