At the age of thirty, the young artist wins the City of Venice Prize in 1948 and is invited by the Foundation of the Château de Lourmarin. The writings of the painter tend towards an increasingly liberal expression, impregnated with aerial perceptions from his time as a pilot during the war. The monographic texts written on his work evoke this incident. His study trips (Italy, Spain from 1949 to 1959, Japan from 1960 to 1985), the memories of his birthplace, Brittany, and his frequent travels feed his imagination.

Based on a perfect mastery of the profession, the work of Baron-Renouard has a strong expression, both poetic and musical, an invitation on an imaginary journey through time and space. In 1961 he is invited to the Charpentier Gallery (School of Pairs) and in 1967, in Montreal, to a prestigious international exhibition at the French Pavilion. (to continue click below right)

Born in Vitré in the region of Ile et Vilaine in 1918, Baron-Renouard follows in the footsteps of his ancestor Charles Paul Renouard. He obtains his diploma from the National Superior   School of Decorative Arts. Among his professors are former pupils of his grandfather, such as Legueult, Brianchon and Desnoye...

Upon his return from the war, he exhibits for the first time at the Under 30s exhibition from 1946-1947. A figurative artist at this time, he collaborates with the review ACE (Art, Culture, Economy), Revue Occident with Cassandre and Revue de la Danse, of which he is one of the founders.
