Gary Faigin is an American artist, author, co-founder and Artistic Director of the Gage Academy of Art, Seattle.
Faigin was educated at the University of Michigan, continuing on to the Art Students League of New York where he was taught by Robert Beverly Hale, and finishing at the École Normale Supérieure, Paris in 1979.
In 1991, Faigin's The Artist's Complete Guide to Facial Expression was published. It is now in its 16th printing and has been translated into 5 other languages. While the book is employed by artists, it is also popular with digital animators, cartoonists, portrait artists, forensic artists, puppeteers, actors, and art directors, as well as psychologists and plastic surgeons; in the extra features of Shrek, The Artist's Guide is seen in several shots during interviews.
The Frye Art Museum in Seattle presented a retrospective exhibition of Faigin's work in 2001. Faigin has a monthly spot as an art critic on the KUOW-FM radio station in Seattle.
