Sculpture "Diaghilev Ballet"

We are elated to present an ornate masterpiece composition paying homage to the celebrated performances of the Russian ballet troupe orchestrated by the eminent impresario, Sergei Diaghilev. This exquisite sculpture, crafted by the hands of renowned Art Deco artist, Demetre H. Chiparus, is a testament to the grandeur of the period's fashion and the captivating beauty of its dancers.

Designed to captivate and tell a story through reflective visuals, the sculpture weighs a sturdy 9kg and measures 41cm in length, making it the ideal, grand centerpiece to elevate the aesthetics of any home setting. Owing to its hefty size, this carefully constructed composition speaks volumes in terms of the magnitude of inspiration drawn from Diaghilev's 'Russian Seasons' staged in Paris, London and other parts of the world since the year 1908.

Notably, D.H. Chiparus (1886-1947), esteemed for his skills in the Art Deco style, had a deep-seated admiration for the 'Russian Seasons'. This can be seen through his array of works, including the legendary Cleopatra and the mesmerizing dancers depicting the mystery and allure of the ancient East. His sculptures echoed the unmatched talents of Diaghilev's troupe compiled from the leading dancers of the Bolshoi and Mariinsky Theatres. Chiparus excelled in not only replicating the artistic perfection of the troupe's soloists, but also, in immortalizing their triumphant success through his sculptures.

As a true connoisseur of Chiparus's work, this sculpture defines the essence of his artistry, mirroring his exceptional ability to seamlessly blend his influence from the 'Russian Seasons', alongside his trademark Art Deco style. This piece is not just a décor, but a priceless artifact capturing the timeless beauty and significance of a bygone era.
