Dynamic French Art Deco (1920s) Cold-painted Bronze, Russian Dancer, Paul Philippe

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Antik Dragon Japanese & Other Fine Art

Superb French Art Deco (1920s) cold-painted bronze of a Russian dancer by Paul Philippe (1870-1930). A magnificent example of Art Deco sculpture, beautifully modelled and cast, the energetic and graceful dancer has been frozen on one leg, grasping the space with her hands. The figure is full of expression and twisted in a spiral, where the heavy oriental belt is balanced by the impulse of the body and the tilt of the face. Unsigned. Was probably signed on the marble base, which has been changed. Ca. 35cm high (including base) x 19cm wide x 120cm deep, weight 2.55kg.
 
Excellent condition and patina.
 
Paul Philippe (1870–1930) was born in Thorn in Poland and studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France, under the direction of Antonin Larroux (1859–1913). He exhibited with success at all the French salons. Philippe worked in both the Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles, working in bronze, bronze and ivory and pure ivory. His figures are sought after worldwide by collectors.
