Roland Paris was born in Vienna 1894 and was fortunate enough to have studied under Henry van der Velde - who was a founder member of the Bauhaus school and an accomplished illustrator and print maker.

Although little is known about the enigmatic Roland Paris, his Art Deco bronze statues command thousands of pounds at auction today. His work tended not to copy other sculptors of the day and he developed his own style specialising in sad looking Pierrots and rather comedic looking Pierrettes.  They have rather intriguing facial features and were made from high quality, luxurious materials, which were so typical of the Art Deco movement.

Like many other Austrian sculptors, Josef Lorenzl and Stefan Dakon, Roland Paris worked in many different materials including bronze, Chryselephantine, spelter, yet the discovery of these woodcut prints shows how Roland Paris’ style is still as strong in a two-dimensional format.

These prints are testament to his skill and many are signed in pencil as well as being signed in the print.  They are printed on a variety of papers and are in remarkably good condition given that they are over 80 years old.  They are strikingly stylised images which looks as innovative and fresh today as they did in the Jazz Age.

If you are looking for some genuine Art Deco artwork by one of the period’s top artists, then these would make a stunning addition to your Art Deco interior.  Each print can be supplied in a neutral mount and black frame for an additional cost (contact us in advance for framing prices).
