Pierre Le Faguays
was born in 1892 in Nantes, France. He was a student of James Vibert at the Geneva University of Art and Design (formerly École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Genève).
He was married to sculptor Andrée Guebre (also known as Raymonde Guerbe), they never had children. His wife had modelled for many of his works.
In 1922, he participated in exhibiting at the Salon des Artistes Français. He exhibited at the Salon d'Automne in multiple years; in 1926, a bust of his wife made in terracotta; and in 1931, a painted portrait of his wife.
He mostly worked with materials such as bronze, terracotta, p te de verre, stone, zinc, wood, alabaster, wrought iron. In Paris, Le Faguays had his statuettes made by the foundries Susse Frères, Edmond Etling, Max Le Verrier, Les Neveux de Jules Lehmann, M. Ollier and by the foundry of the Austrian Arthur Goldscheider, a son of Friedrich Goldscheider. In the 1960s, his work was extensively reproduced and were often signed as "Favral" or "Fayral".
Le Faguays work can be found in museum collections, including at the Musée d'Orsay, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Casa Lis, in Salamanca.
