Henri Fugère (1872-1944)
Henri Fugère, is a famous French sculptor and medalist, born on September 7, 1872, in Saint-Mandé.
Son of the sculptor Léon Fugère, he began his apprenticeship at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

From 1893, he exhibited regularly at the Salon of the Society of French Artists, of which he was finally elected Vice-President.

In Henri Fugère's work, we find numerous realistic representations of warriors, soldiers, historical figures, but also works on the theme of work.
