Raymond Feuillatte (1901-1971) was born and died in Neuilly-sur-Seine, where he had his studio at 5 villa des Sablons. He apprenticed at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, then at the École des Arts Décoratifs, where he was awarded his first prize in 1924. In 1933, he was awarded the City of Paris travel grant for North Africa, and the press praised him: "On doit se louer de voir élu M. Raymond Feuillatte qui est un bel artiste" (Comoedia, July 10, 1933). The two-year, 18,000 F contract not only enabled him to tour Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco, but also to exhibit his work there. In 1934, in Tunis, he presented a selection of paintings in the lobby of the newspaper 'Le Petit Matin'. On this occasion, a columnist hailed the stylistic evolution of the artist "who brings a softer hue than before to his African canvases| the interior scenes show nuanced characters of figures conceived in tones of remarkable freshness and richness". ('L'Afrique du Nord illustré', December 8, 1934, p. 9). Two years later, in the February 12, 1935 issue of 'Comoedia', Gaston Poulain echoed the prodigal artist's return to France: "It is [...] a harvest that Raymond Feuillatte has brought back from his long stay in North Africa. A generous harvest, shimmering with ardent vitality, likely to attract tourists' eyes once again to regions of magnificent immutability". In this long article dedicated to him, the painter underlines the studious nature of his journey: "I'm coming back with hundreds of paintings, watercolours and sketches. These works would continue to irrigate his oeuvre, but they should not overshadow his Arcadian landscapes around Les Baux-de-Provence and his realistic, sometimes dark chronicles of Parisian life, featuring tightrope-walking characters - acrobats and other figures from the demi-monde - as in two drawings preserved at the Centre Pompidou ('Les clowns', 1935, and 'Au café', 1938). In 1936, to add insult to injury, Raymond Feuillatte was chosen by the Fine Arts Commission of the French Olympic Committee to represent French art at the Berlin Olympic Games with his 'Cavaliers' (location unknown), "a work rich in shadow play and finely executed" ('L'Auto', February 11, 1936). In 1940, his participation in the Salon d'Automne was noted in these terms by Jean-Daniel Maublanc, who described him as "a young man full of talent": "I have a lot of admiration for Raymond Feuillatte and a lot of confidence in him" ('Le Petit Haut-Marnais', November 24, 1940). Also a talented illustrator, prolific decorator and tapestry cartoonist, Raymond Feuillatte was a member of the Salon d'Automne, of which he was president in 1941, and vice-president of the Salon Populiste in 1951.
