Pierre Le Faguays was a French Art Deco sculptor who was born in 1892 in Nantes, France. He studied at the Geneva University of Art and Design (formerly École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Genève) under James Vibert. He was married to sculptor Andrée Guebre (also known as Raymonde Guerbe), they never had children. His wife had modeled for many of his works.

Le Faguays's work is characterized by its stylized forms and smooth surfaces. He often used elongated figures and flowing lines, and his work is often compared to that of Art Nouveau sculptors such as Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Hector Guimard.

Le Faguays's work was exhibited in many major exhibitions, including the Salon des Artistes Français, the Salon d'Automne, and the Exposition Internationale in Paris in 1937. Some of his most famous works include "Dancer with Thyrsus" (1925), "Nymph and Faun" (1926), "Le départ en croisade" more...
