René Pinard was a painter-engraver born in Nantes. Son of Nantes photographer Étienne-Marie Pinard, he grew up on rue Crébillon. His first drawings date from 1897. In 1901 and 1902, he attended Mr. Gaucher's class at the Nantes municipal drawing school. On October 15, 1902, he entered the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he studied with Fernand Cormon. In October 1906, he joined his teacher's etching workshop, where he won several awards in 1907 and 1908. In 1909, he married Yvonne Touvet, a student at the École des Beaux-Arts. His daughter Renée was born on November 6 of the same year. He traveled to the Netherlands in 1906 and to Spain in 1910. In 1913, he tied for first prize in the Chenavard competition. The following year, he enjoyed success at the Galerie Guérault's first "Artistic Brittany" exhibition, where his Port de Nantes was noticed. During the First World War, René Pinard served two tours of duty, notably in Lorraine, between 1916 and the end of 1917. He then embarked on a minesweeper, the Kerdonis, based in Lorient. He was appointed painter to the Navy in 1921 and embarked on a training cruiser, the Jeanne-d'Arc. His voyages on board took him to Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia. In addition to these voyages, his position as official painter to the navy, for which he was reappointed every five years until his death, entitled him to take part in the Salon de peinture et de sculpture and to be awarded the title of "Painter of the Navy." In 1923, René Pinard was awarded the Grand Prix de Dessin by the Académie des Beaux-Arts. Until 1937, he worked for the French Navy, illustrating La Guerre navale racontée par ses amiraux. Between 1930 and 1937, he won numerous awards at Salons in North Africa. In 1935, he became a member of the jury of the Société Coloniale des Artistes Français. The landscape has always been a protagonist in artistic research, both as a setting and as a background, but also as a subject itself. The naturalistic description of the landscape was a constant aspiration for the painters. Each historical period has given its interpretation of the landscape by contributing to the evolution of its description: first with research on space, through the Brunelleschian perspective in the early Renaissance; then on atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century; up to the representation of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism. The artist Pinard, even in this landscape, has a remarkable verve as an illustrator. The structure of the representation is based on an elegant graphic stroke that describes the objects with an excellent taste for detail. The composition of the color in compact fields forms a delicate balance within the composition, with a harmonious alternation of tones. Pinard's artistic language objectively refers to reality without interposing interpretations. Thus, his manner is connoted by a remarkable formal purity that is recognized above all in the precision of the design. The shape of things is in no way affected by pictorial effects, thanks also to the compactness of the color. Pinard is a well-known artist, illustrator, and author, above all of lively genre scenes and beautiful marines. He died in Paris on May 2, 1938.
