AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Art déco sculpture by the famous sculptor Joe Descomps (Joseph Cormier) 1869-1950. Paris, France.
Sculptor, master goldsmith, and emblematic French chaser of the Art Deco period. Prestigious training among the great masters like Alexandre Falguière. Regular exhibitor at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1891 to 1928, gold medalist and decorated with the Legion of Honor in 1929. Favorite subjects: the body of the female figure and dancers in full sprint.
Model: Russian dancer
Year: 1925
Signed on the pedestal of the sculpture (the handwriting style, the cursive script, and its flowing line attest to the authenticity of this period sculpture).
No founder’s mark as is often the case for this sculptor, since it was sold directly to art dealers.
Listed in the famous Bryan Catley book.
Polychrome sculpture, cold-painted, draped, and with a facial surface finely chiselled, mounted on a multicolored tiered marble base with inlays.
Very good overall condition.
