Charles Despiau was a French sculptor renowned for portraits and nudes characterized by calm lines and simplified features, and a central figure in interwar sculpture. Trained at art schools in Paris and influenced by a circle of artists connected to Rodin, he developed an archaizing style that sought psychological truth and formal purity, earning comparisons in his lifetime to Donatello and Aristide Maillol.

His work ranges from small portrait pieces—such as Paulette and Petite fille des Landes—to public commissions, including an Apollon for the Palais de Tokyo (1937) and the Monument aux morts in Mont-de-Marsan (1918–1922), where he translated suffering and dignity into restrained, measured forms. During the First World War he served in the camouflage unit and afterwards resumed his career with growing recognition.

Despiau also taught at Paris academies and took part in founding the Salon des Tuileries. His work is noted for its search for serene expression and for influencing the renewal of modern sculpture, balancing formal rigor with psychological sensitivity.
