ABOUT

Chiparus Windy Day - Children Series

Neighbourhood children often came to Chiparus's atelier in the rue Barrault, and Chiparus cajoled them into posing for him. Julienne recalls, 'Those were the least expensive models of all. They were content with a few sweets.' Those afternoon sessions resulted in a number of sentimental and amusing pieces, known as the children series. This was Chiparus's first series, preceding his sculptures of dazzling, sophisticated young dancers from the Paris Dance Halls, the dazzling, glamorous sculptures that soon became his trademark.
