Biography

Lagénie studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux, and joined Marcel Gimond's studio at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris in 1957. He worked with bronze and his main source of inspiration was the female form.[1]

According to the book Deux siècles d'arts à Bordeaux, Lagénie "has traced a path where his work becomes timeless, independent of his century, of his time".[2] Le Spectacle du monde described Lagénie's work as "Patient, he models, molds, melts and chisels, performing all the ritual gestures of his art with an inexhaustible passion".[3]

Pierre Lagénie died on 25 March 2020 at the age of 81.[4]
