About the Item
Henri Bargas was a French artist, renowned for his Art Deco terracotta sculptures depicting male athletes and other classic masculine figures from the 1930s. Born in France in 1885, he was inspired by the Art Deco movement and sought to create works that embodied the modern elegance of the era. His sculptures encapsulated the powerful physique, strength, and athleticism of the classic male athlete, but with an added touch of artistry and beauty.
Bargas's earliest works were small figurines and animal sculptures, designed in an abstract style. He then moved on to create larger-scale sculptures of classic male figures such as athletes, warriors, and soldiers. One of his most famous sculptures is "The Archer", a piece he created in 1938. This sculpture depicts a muscular male figure dressed in traditional hunting garb, standing with his bow raised and arrow drawn in preparation to fire. The man stands tall and proud; his posture conveys a sense of confidence and power, while his face is expressionless, seemingly focused on his mark.
Bargas gave great attention to every detail of the piece, from the muscles of the archer's body to the intricate pattern of his clothes. He finished the piece in terracotta, which gives it a unique texture and a timeless look. The Archer is an outstanding example of Bargas's mastery of the medium, as well as his ability to combine realism with artistry in his work.
The Archer has become an iconic symbol of the Art Deco period, representing the classic image of masculinity and power. Its classic form combined with its timeless look make it one of Bargas's most beloved works, and a timeless masterpiece. It stands out as an iconic symbol of the Art Deco period, embodying French creativity and elegance. It is a stunning tribute to Henri Bargas's talent and skill, and a beautiful reminder of the beauty of the Art Deco era.

Sculpture Art Deco in Spelter "The Archer" (ca. 1920) by Jean De Rancourt
Located in Ixelles, BE
- The Artwork:
This sculpture by Jean de Roncourt embodies a striking dramatic tension through the figure of an archer in full action. Kneeling, with a taut torso and prominent muscles, the man draws his bow in a gesture of controlled power. The dynamic, almost choreographic posture reveals a perfect knowledge of human anatomy, typical of the Art Deco movement to which de Roncourt belonged. The grey-patinated spelter confers an antique nobility...
