An unfairly back-shelved artist
Louis Tenars, author of a book on Pierre Feitu, portrays the “faun-faced” Breton sculptor as a cheerful, eloquent and refined individual with a zestful spirit. His life narrative is nothing short of extraordinary.

THE AIM OF THIS WEBSITE IS TO EVOKE IN PICTURES THE ARTISTIC LIFE OF PIERRE FEITU AND DISPLAY A REPRESENTATIVE ARRAY OF HIS WORKS. THIS APPROACH, INTERSPERSED WITH PHOTOS AND TESTIMONIES, WISHES TO INTRODUCE AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE TO HIS CAREER AND MULTIFACETED TALENT.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone whose active collaboration made this website project possible.
In particular, we sincerely thank:
– M. Joël Le Pape and Mme Laurence David for their contagious enthusiasm and profound admiration for Pierre Feitu and his work. We are especially thankful for their tireless research in unearthing documents and their efforts to “exhume” the sculptor from oblivion.
Mme Sylviane Aymé and MM. Yannick Servel & Peter Johnson

– Mme Sylviane Aymé, Chairperson of the Art Workshop of Mûr-de-Bretagne, who was instrumental in “uncovering” and bringing to light the sculptor’s remaining works. With the help of M. Peter Johnson, photographer, and M. Yannick Servel, sculptor, she brought them back into the spotlight. Had it not been for these three individuals, we would have still been unaware of the existence of these works and that they are on display in Mûr-de-Bretagne.
– Franck Feitu and Isabelle Bourelly née Feitu, great-nephew and great-niece of the sculptor, who patiently collected and compiled numerous documents and much information, without which we would know almost nothing about Pierre Feitu or his substantial body of work.
– Our English and Spanish speaking friends who reviewed and refined the website’s translations, choosing to remain anonymous out of modesty.
– The current landlord of the house where Pierre Feitu was born.
– We also express our sincere thanks to the Town Hall of Mûr-de-Bretagne (in particular madame Coz) and all those who have supported and continue to support the preservation of Pierre Feitu’s legacy, by seeking solutions to ensure the restoration and the safekeeping of the statues still available to the public in château Le Cerf located in Mûr-de-Bretagne, the beloved native municipality of the artist.

we have recently offered the possibility of acquiring a pair of bas-reliefs (pictured below), supposedly made by Pierre feitu, without being shown, nevertheless, any certificate of authenticity whatsoever to ensure his actual authorship. what do you think?
