Kyoto Bookmarks, 1920's

I can't believe these vintage bookmarks from Kyoto are from the 1920's! They look so anime, they could had been made today!

Demêtre Chiparus, "Les Girls" c.1930

If you like Art Deco and you're in the city of Porto (Portugal) be sure not to miss the Berardo Collection in the Serralves Foundation, until the 18th of June of 2006. One of the works displayed is this statuette by Romanian artist Demêtre Chiparus. I find his work very good and very, very creepy.

Bellow you see a scan of "Les Girls", bronze and ivory, c.1930, by the same artist;. Taken from the book "Art Deco 1910-1939" edited by Charlotte Benton, Tim Benton and Chislaine Wood.
