This was an opportunity for him to collaborate with artists Sibyle May and Edouard Cazaux. Highly prolific, his work tackles materials as varied as marble, stone, terracotta, bronze, ivory and alabaster. He is particularly inspired by the statues of "Tanagra". Le Faguays is also well known for his creations in cast iron under various pseudonyms such as Guerbe and Fayral, the surnames of his mother and his wife Raymonde Guerbe. In Paris, he presented two groups of sculptures in the A. Goldscheider pavilion at the Exposition des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels. He also participated as an interior designer with two monumental bas-reliefs for the civil aviation hall at the 1937 Paris Specialized Exhibition. After the Second World War, he worked as a painter on the Place du Tertre in Montmartre.

Dimensions in cm ( H x L x l ) : 17 x 36 x 9 Secure shipping. Louis Vidal, Vidal the blind or Vidal-Navatel is a French sculptor born on December 6, 1831 in Nîmes and who passed on May 9th, 1892 in the 12th district of Paris. Born to an unknown father and Sophie Vidal-Navatel, he grew up in a family of artists, having for stepfather the painter Alexandre Colin who married his mother in second marriage and for half-brother Paul-Alfred Colin. He studied anatomy but became blind around 1853, which prevented him from pursuing this path. He studied with the animal sculptors Antoine-Louis Barye and Pierre Louis Rouillard and became an animal sculptor himself by replacing sight with touch. This faculty enabled him to create portraits, he perceived the shape of faces by touching them and sculpted them in clay, and remains known as the author of a sculpture representing a roaring lion, as well as that of a bull in bronze, donated by the State to the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nîmes in 1867.
