Legend of Bronze Sculpture: Pierre Le Faguays

Pierre Le Faguays was a prolific and versatile avant-garde French sculptor whose works greatly influenced the styles of the 1920s and early 1930s. His many male figures were super-powerful (a blend of primitive and futuristic man) and often brutal to the extreme. Yet his dancing girls are delicate creatures with lovely, sensitive faces (in bronze and tinted ivory) equal to those of the better known specialists - Chiparus, Preiss and Lorenzl. Add to these a host of exciting child, biblical and sporting subjects.
