René-Georges Hermann-Paul (1964-1940) was part of the Parisian art scene, until he was not. The prolific career of the artist started with illustrations for weeklies and with color lithography. In both techniques his drawing talents are evident, and early on he revealed a style similar to that of Nabis artists. Not much of a painter, he focused on social and political commentary in his illustrations and on esthetic renditions of similar subjects in his lithographs. By the onset of the Great War, Hermann-Paul completely changed his style, focusing all of his efforts on woodcuts, both in color and black and white. He continued to create many illustrations, though increasingly for books. Finding himself no longer relating to the leftist ideals of Parisian artists after the war, Hermann-Paul spent much of the rest of his life on the outskirts of the capital, in the Camargue, all the while frequently traveling to Spain, Belgium, and once in a while his beloved Paris. An extremely hard worker, Hermann-Paul’s output was staggering.
