Claude Goutin

Claude Goutin was born in 1930 in Nancy, France, where he began his artistic training at the Nancy School of Fine Arts. He continued his studies at the National School of Fine Arts in Paris, working under the renowned Art Deco sculptor Alfred Janniot. In 1956, Goutin earned first place at the prestigious Grand Prize of Rome, marking a significant milestone in his career.
Whether stone cut or modeled, each of Goutin’s sculptures captivates viewers with its technical sensitivity, dynamic movement, and originality of subject matter. His work often features nudes and opera heroines, demonstrating his ability to capture both classical beauty and dramatic expression. Throughout his career, Goutin has received numerous public commissions, particularly within the city of Metz, where his sculptures have become part of the civic landscape.
Goutin’s work is represented by Park West Gallery, where collectors can appreciate his masterful approach to sculpture and his distinctive artistic vision that bridges traditional technique with imaginative subject matter.
