JEAN-CLAUDE REYNAL

Jean-Claude Reynal was born in 1938 in Bordeaux, where he studied at the Fine Arts School while working in photomechanics (an advanced process at that time) at the Sud-Ouest newspaper. These two experiences combined to make of him an impassioned artist of international renown.
In Paris he befriended and later worked as assistant to Stanley William Hayter for whom he worked in his ‘Atelier 17’ for several years on a new conception of printmaking which was to broaden traditional practice.
Through his work in Atelier 17, Jean-Claude Reynal came into contact with many foreign artists and became convinced that it was necessary to explore other countries and cultures.
He was given the chance to travel to the San Francisco Institute through two scholarships (Fullbright and Gremthields), an experience which he would never forget.
Jean-Claude Reynal later became an outstanding professor at the Decorative Arts Museum in Paris where he worked for twenty years. He also exhibited internationally in Canada, London, Rome, Osaka, amongst other locations.
A dedicated teacher and artist until his death in 1988, Jean-Claude Reynal wanted to give young creators a chance to study abroad, as he had been fortunate enough to do.
Thus was born the Jean-Claude Reynal Foundation, which, with the support of the Fondation de France, enabled Georges Reynal, his father, to make this wish become reality and to insure the continuity of an ideal.
