Georges Lucien Guyot
(French, 1885–1973)
Biography
Georges Lucien Guyot was a French sculptor known for his small, stylized figurines, watercolors, and illustrations of the animals of Africa and Asia. Born on December 10, 1885 in Paris, France, Guyot studied woodcarving in his young adulthood, gaining technical expertise through copying religious works from the 15th century. Turning his sights to the natural world, he frequently drew animals and plants in the Jardin des Plantes, transferring his studies to sculptures in the studio. During his life, he associated with peers such as Jean-Claude de Saint-Marceaux, Paul Jouve, and François Pompon. Despite his prolific oeuvre, Guyot's first and only exhibition was in 1970. The artist died in Paris, France in 1973.
