About the Item

Delightful Paris scene circa 1950 artist's stamp, signed and titled in pencil on reverse Framed to 18 x 24 in with archival matt Rene-Jacques was born in Phnom Penh (Cambodia) in 1908 under the name René Giton. He was 16 years old when he settled in Paris with his family. Soon after completing his law studies in 1930, he decided to become a professional photographer under the name of René-Jacques. After completing studies in law, Rene-Jacques decided to pursue a career as a photographer and began working in 1930, alternating reportage with his personal work. He quickly became well known, publishing work in many of the prestigious magazines of the period, including Arts et Metiers Graphiques, Fortune, Harper's Bazaar and Photography. Several books followed. His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the world, including New York's Museum of Modern Art, the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris and the Royal Photographic Society in London. He is known for his poignant portraits of French life. In 1938, he published "Envoûtement de Paris" in collaboration with novelist and poet Francis Carco. At the same time, he produced documentary photo reports for magazines (Plaisir de France, Harper’s Bazaar…) and books such as the "Dictionnaire pittoresque de la France". In 1941, he participated in the activities of the Rectangle group, an association of photographers founded by Emmanuel Sougez in the mid-1930s and later joined another group, the “Groupe des XV” with Marcel Bovis, Pierre Jahan, Daniel Masclet. A successful, well published and exhibited professional, he was also an active member of his business community and founded the French association of advertising photographers in 1966. He retired in 1975 and died in Paris in 2003. In the 1980s, the Paris Historical Library (Bibliothèque Historique) acquired over 3,000 of his photographs of Paris
