NOTICE
Max Le Verrier, French sculptor and bronzemaker, is an Art Deco icon, famous for his works in patinated metal. His panther sculptures embody both the elegance and dynamism of the Art Deco style. With their clean, stylized lines, his panthers capture the power and grace of the feline in motion, often in a tense posture, ready to pounce. The dark patinas of his bronzes accentuate the mysterious, captivating aspect of the animal, while underscoring the quality of the metalwork.
In his animal works, Le Verrier is close to sculptors such as Demétre Chiparus, who shares a stylized, sophisticated approach to figures, and Armand Petersen, known for his simple, elegant animal sculptures. Roger Godchaux, another animal sculptor, also stands out for his expressive, sensitive depictions of wildlife. Max Le Verrier's panthers are particularly prized for their refined aesthetic and the timeless modernity of their design, embodying the very essence of Art Deco.
