Life

Paul Le Goff was a son of the sculptor Élie Le Goff (1858–1938). Like his brothers Élie junior (1881–1915) and Henri (1887–1918), he became a sculptor. From Paul Le Goff comes a. a. the stele in memory of the poet and journalist Narcisse Quellien , who was run over by Agamemnon Schliemann in 1902 . It is located in La Roche-Derrien . Other works include La Synthèse de l'hiver , which received praise from the Institut de France and the Prix Roux in 1912, and La forme se dégageant de la matière , which was awarded the Prix ​​Chenavard .

In the Parc des Promenades in Saint-Brieuc is the Monument à Paul Le Goff , created by Jules-Charles Le Bozec . The inauguration took place on May 29, 1938 by Albert Lebrun . The monument consists of a granite column with a bronze portrait relief of Le Goff and his name and dates of life as an inscription. In front of it stands a figure, also made of granite, apparently dressed in a traditional costume, who turns to the inscription.

Paul Le Goff and his two brothers fell in the First World War . The grave of the three brothers is in the Saint-Michel cemetery in Saint-Brieuc. The tomb is her father's work. It shows a bronze medallion with the portraits of the three young men and, underneath, a relief with five veiled people who are marching in procession.
