The
illustrators will be introduced today have the same first name René and they
are all extremely influential in fashion illustrators.
René
Bouét-Willaumez appeared in Vogue during 1930s. He has a similar style with
Eric but his lines are sharper and colors are more astringent than Eric. Both
of them worked for Vogue and used brush as the tool of illustrating but René
Bouét-Willaumez showed more freedom and Eric showed softer feelings in their
drawings.
René
Bouché was one of the old-school illustrators in the 20th century. He
was a versatile wit in edit, reportage and advertising, but illustrating for
Vogue magazine is his most influential work. Bouché started to illustrate in
1938 for Vogue in France,
and then turned to the USA
after the war. He has been drawing for Vogue until he died in 1963. The style
of Bouché was influenced by Eric who was also a famous illustrator worked for
Vogue, but the eyes of Bouché’s modles are more sharper and the lines of his
illustration are more trenchant.
René
Gruau has an elegant style in his illustrations and he liked to use framing
device which always showed a dramatic effect. He drew for magazine Vogue, Woman’s
Journal, L’Officiel de la couture et de la mode, Adam, International Textiles and
many other magazines, and drew advertisement for Dior, Jaeger and other brands.
