Biography
Biography
• Illustration — The Head-dress (1911) • Illustration — Reader at the Window (1890), Soissons Museum Born in Mulhouse, into an Alsatian family of famous brewers, he was the son of Paul Schützenberger (1829–1897), a French chemist. The painter Louis-Frédéric Schützenberger (1825–1903) was his cousin. Schützenberger studied at the Académie Julian, a private art school founded by Rodolphe Julian under Jean-Paul Laurens. In 1891, he married Andrée-Marie Bouland in the town hall of the 6th arrondissement of Paris. She was a writer and an art critique known as Andrée Myra. Schützenberger started to exhibit at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1889, at the Salon des Indépendants from 1902 and at the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts from 1907. He got an honourable mention at the Salon of 1897 and at the Universal Exhibition of 1900. In 1911, Schützenberger exhibited at the Exposition des Peintres du Paris moderne in the Gallery Georges Petit. In 1912 and in 1915, he participated in the Exposition of group of artists called Cent Artistes in the Gallery Henri Manuel. He died in Paris on 31 December 1916. He practiced genre painting, portraits, nudes and landscapes, treating the subjects of the daily life and intimate subjects. His style is close to the Post-Impressionism movement and was influenced by the Les Nabis group of Post-Impressionists, most of whom also studied at Académie Julian. Retrospective exhibition Salon des Indépendants took place in 1926. Works by René Schützenberger were exhibited at Grand Palais along with works by Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh, Amedeo Modigliani, Georges Seurat, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Félix Vallotton and other painters.
