He is best known for his Art Deco sculptures, which were typically made of bronze, ivory, and other luxurious materials.

He created sculptures of dancers, animals, and mythological figures, and his work was particularly popular in the 1920s and 1930s. Today, Chiparus' sculptures are highly sought after by collectors and can be found in museums around the world. Circa 1920, United States
