Demetre H. Chiparus (1886-1947) is recognised as an influential figurehead of the Art Deco style. It is widely appreciated that many of his celebrated works were born from the influence of Diaghilev's 'Russian Seasons' in Paris. This influence is clearly evident in many of Chiparus' works, such as his legendary sculpture of Cleopatra and his evocative depictions of the enigmatic dancers of the ancient East. One of the most recognised series of sculptures by Chiparus is dedicated to Diaghilev's ballets, which impress with their striking resemblance to the soloists of the Russian troupe and an exemplary testament to Chiparus' unparalleled skill
