  46. Art Deco, sometimes referred to as Deco, is a style of visual arts, architecture and design that first appeared in France just before World War I. Art Deco influenced the design of buildings, furniture, jewelry, fashion, cars, movie theatres, trains, ocean liners, and everyday objects such as radios and vacuum cleaners. It took its name, short for Arts Décoratifs, from the «Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes» (International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts) held in Paris in 1925. It combined modern styles with fine craftsmanship and rich materials. During its heyday, Art Deco represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress. Demetre Chiparus was a Romanian sculptor working in the Art Deco style. His distinctive sculptures—frequently combining bronze and ivory in a technique known as chryselephantine—depicted female dancers in ancient Egyptian or contemporary ballet garb. Chiparus was markedly inspired by the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb during his lifetime, as well as by Serge Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes, which informed the stylized, slender appearance of his figures. Born on September 16, 1886 in Dorohoi, Romania, he went on to study in Italy with the sculptor Raffaello Romanelli, later moving to Paris to enroll at the École des Beaux-Arts. During the Nazi invasion of Paris, almost no works of Chiparus were sold, though the artist continued sculpting animals in the Art Deco style. Collecting interest in his work experienced a resurgence in the 1970s, and his pieces now command high prices at auction. Today, his work can be found in the permanent collection of Casa Lis, an Art Nouveau and Art Deco museum in Salamanca, Spain. Chiparus died on January 22, 1947 in Paris, France.
