The weight of words, the impact of photographs: Short texts
supported by about 530 illustrations mainly in color.
This is a new release of the original 1936 edition.
Over 23 years ago the first publication of Chiparus: Master of Art
Deco brought this artist into the public eye. His name, lost in
records and catalogues, was rejuvenated by Alberto Shayo's
rediscovery of his works, effectively bringing artist and oeuvre
back to life. This book dwells on the sources and inspiration of
the Art Deco movement, with particular emphasis on sculptures
created by Demetre Chiparus. However, Chiparus considered himself a
painter above a sculptor. In this latest version of the book, many
unpublished pictures come to light as well as newly discovered oils
and 'sanguines', confirming his aptitude in both fields.
