BIOGRAPHY:
Draner, born Jules Joseph Renard on November 12, 1833 in Liège (Belgium) and died on August 30, 1926 in Paris 9th arrondissement, was a Belgian painter, draftsman, and caricaturist.
He came from a wealthy family, his father owned a printing house. He showed a talent for drawing at a very young age. He worked in a bookstore owned by his family when he was young. He found employment at the Vieille Montagne Zinc Company and at the same time provided drawings and caricatures to local newspapers including Uylenspiegel founded by Félicien Rops. He used the reversed anagram of Renard as his artistic name. From 1852 to 1861, he produced hundreds of Conté pencil drawings in Liège.
In 1861, he moved to Paris where he collaborated with numerous illustrated Parisian newspapers, including Le Charivari, L’Éclipse, Paris-Comique, L'Illustration, Le Monde Illustré, and the Journal pour rire. It was Draner who enabled Mars, a fellow countryman, to publish his first drawings in 1872. In 1879, he succeeded Cham at Le Charivari for illustrating Parisian anecdotes under the pseudonym Paf. Henriot succeeded him. According to Guy Vandeloise: "What strikes us most in the hundreds of illustrations that Jules Renard created for his various newspapers, is the ease of invention, the constantly renewed whimsy that account for the small events of life through small squares of drawings."
He also designed costumes for the theater, particularly for Jacques Offenbach's operettas. The Draner collection at the BnF consists of comical costume designs from 19th-century Parisian theaters.
Specializing in military caricature, he illustrated numerous books, particularly on the Siege of Paris. He is best known for his series of 136 color lithographs depicting caricatures of military figures "Types militaires : Galerie militaire de toutes les nations."
He passed away on August 30, 1926 in Paris 9th arrondissement at the age of 92. He bequeathed a collection of drawings to the University of Liège.
