Romanian School. Student of Mercié and Boucher, he exhibited at the Salon of French Artists from 1914 to 1928, honorable mention in 1914. He made typical statuettes of the 25-30 years. The craze in the 70s for the Art Deco style puts in fashion the subjects of Chiparus who is the leader of the statuary of this kind. Dancers, acrobats, oriental women, comedy characters are the favorite subjects of the artist. (extract Bénézit).
