Biography:
French sculptor, Charles Despiau began his career in 1907 as an assistant to Rodin. After working there until 1914, Despiau adopted a style that contrasted his master’s approach and more resembled the work of Maillol. Despiau is mostly remembered for his portrait busts but also produced a number of monuments. He held a high reputation in France during the 1920’s and 30’s but lost his prestige because of his allegiance to his longtime friend and Nazi sculptor, Arno Breker.
