Biography:
Auguste MOREAU 1834 / 1917
Auguste Louis Mathurin Moreau, born February 22, 1834 in Dijon and died November 11, 1917 in Malesherbes, is a French sculptor. Auguste Moreau is the son of the sculptor Jean-Baptiste-Louis-Joseph Moreau and the younger brother of the sculptors Hippolyte Moreau and Mathurin Moreau. He learned about sculpture with his older brother Mathurin.
He began at the Salon of 1861 and continued to take an active place at the Salon des Artistes Français, an artistic group of which he was a member. He appeared at the 1910 Salon with Saint John and The Message, a marble statuette. His favorite subjects, allegories, putti, cupid, are treated with realism and grace. Auguste is the only one of his siblings not to have received an official award. He is buried in the Lilas communal cemetery. Auguste Moreau mainly produced artistic bronzes.
Several of his works are kept at the Troyes Museum of Fine Arts and the Bordeaux Museum of Fine Arts.
