Georges LAVROFF (1895-1991) - Statuette

Sculpture "Cervidé" by Georges Lavroff, a stylish piece in silvered bronze that will bring refinement and character to your interior. Georges Lavroff is a leading figure of Russian animal sculpture in the Art Deco movement. Native of Siberia, his stay in Paris in the 1930s marked a turning point in his career. His animals with cubical faces, always dynamic and full of grace, are exhibited successfully at the Salon des Indépendants and the Salon d'Automne. Upon his return to Russia, he is imprisoned by the Stalinist regime and sentenced to five years of forced labor before being rehabilitated and recognized by his homeland. A monographic exhibition is dedicated to him in Moscow in 1982, the city where he dies in 1991. - Product type: Sculpture / Statue - Artist: Georges Lavroff - Model: Cervid (roe deer) - Material: Silvered bronze - Style: Art Deco Sculpture dimensions: 11 cm × 7 cm Base dimensions: 8.5 cm × 8.5 cm × h3 cm Good condition Note that the marble base is attached and the cervid is not fixed to it.
