Raymond Peynet (1908-1999) 'Lithograph, title, " 'L Amoureux timid " The shy lover Raymond Peynet is a world-famous French artist, born in Paris in 1908. When he was 15, he was admitted to the Ecole des Arts Appliqués, which was conveniently located across from his parents' bistro. His first job was at an advertising agency, Tolmer, where he did jobs from sweeping the floor to making perfume bottle labels, eventually working on advertisements himself. In 1930 he married Denise Damour and began publishing his illustrations in the Parisian press, including Le Rire, Rire à deux, Paris Magazine and The Boulevardier. Because of his romantic and humorous works of art depicting love between men and women, Peynet has gained worldwide fame and has been called 'the painter of love'. In 1980, the Peynet Museum opened in Tokyo, Japan. In 1981, a mural was commissioned, 120 feet long and 24 feet high for the town of Carros, France. Exhibitions were held in galleries in Europe and Japan from 1982-1990. In honor of his work, a Peynet stamp was issued by the government in France in 1985.
