BIOGRAPHY:
Draner, born Jules Joseph Renard on November 12, 1833 in Liège, Belgium, and died on August 30, 1926, in Paris 9th, was a Belgian painter, draftsman, and caricaturist.
Coming from a wealthy family, his father owned a printing press. Draner showed early aptitude for drawing and was employed at a young age in a bookstore owned by his family. He later found employment at the Vieille Montagne Zinc Company and at the same time provided drawings and caricatures for local newspapers including Uylenspiegel founded by Félicien Rops. He used the reversed anagram of Renard as his artist name. From 1852 to 1861, he produced hundreds of drawings in Liège using Conté pencils.
In 1861, he moved to Paris where he collaborated with numerous illustrated Parisian newspapers: Le Charivari, L’Éclipse, Paris-Comique, L'Illustration, Le Monde Illustré, and the Journal pour rire. It was Draner who enabled Mars, a compatriot, to publish his first drawings in 1872. In 1879, he succeeded Cham at Le Charivari for drawings of Parisian anecdotes under the pseudonym Paf. Henriot later succeeded him. According to Guy Vandeloise: "What strikes you above all in these hundreds of illustrations that Jules Renard created for his many newspapers is the ease of invention, the continually renewed whimsicality that accounts for the daily events of life in small squares of drawings."
He also designed costumes for the theater, especially for the operettas of Jacques Offenbach. The Draner collection at the BnF consists of comical costume drawings from the Paris theaters of the 19th century.
Specialized in caricatures of military personnel, he illustrated numerous books, particularly those regarding the Siege of Paris. He is best known for his series of 136 colored lithographs of caricatures of military figures titled Military Types: Military Gallery of All Nations.
He passed away on August 30, 1926, in Paris 9th at the age of 92.
He bequeathed a collection of his drawings to the University of Liège.
