AUGUSTE EMILE MALO-RENAULT (French /
1870-1938)
Auguste Émile Renault, called Malo Renault or more usually Malo-Renault, took the name of his home town of Saint Malo in Brittany. He first studied as an architect, and then at the École des Arts Décoratifs. His printmaking career really began with his 1897 marriage to the printmaker Honorine Tian (Nori Malo-Renault), who often printed his plates. The art of Malo-Renault, primarily etchings, drypoints and wood engravings, is profoundly influenced by the post-Impressionists, and particularly the Nabis. His sense of composition also shows a Japanese influence. Malo-Renault's drypoints for Le Jardin de Bérénice, of which we have a rare and unrecorded suite, were exhibited in 1923 at the Salon de la société nationale des Beaux-Arts.
