RENAULT (Camille). - Lot 231

RENAULT (Camille). Exhibition catalog dedicated to the remarkable figure of Camille Renault (1904–1984), an innkeeper, folk patron of the arts, and self-taught artist—a unique figure on the fringes of the French art world. Held in Charleville-Mézières and at the Rimbaud Museum in 1985, this exhibition traces the rich and varied world of this set designer, float builder, and creator of an imaginary world populated by fantastical characters. Illustrated with period photographs and reproductions of his creations, the book now serves as a rare resource on an iconic figure of 20th-century French folk art. Title: Camille Renault, Creator of Worlds. Exhibition: Rimbaud Museum, Charleville-Mézières, 1985. Illustrations: photographs and archival documents. Binding: stapled booklet.
