“Reality is always magical.” —Jean Renoir, 1957 Art is a
family matter for the Renoirs. The path is carved by
Pierre-Auguste, the painter who along with Monet, Cézanne, Degas
was at the origin of the impressionist movement and continues with
Jean, the poetic avant-garde filmmaker. Indisputably one of the
masters of French painting of the 19th century,
Pierre-Auguste father one of the greatest cineastes of the
twentieth century in Jean Renoir. From the father’s paintings to
the son’s films, the artist affiliation reveals a similar
pursuit, and a single source of inspiration: an ode to freedom
finding its origins in a profound humanity and love of reality.
Pierre-Auguste and Jean Renoir, father and son, each marked the
history of art—through painting for Pierre-Auguste and film for
Jean, with the common thread of a desire to transcribe reality.
This graphic novel tells the story of the intertwined lives of
these two creators who always sought to draw their inspiration from
the “spectacle of life”. But behind their art, there is also
the story of the filiation between an old man who is slowly losing
his strength and a young man seeking to make his own mark.
In fact, it is not until after his father’s death that Jean began
his career as a filmmaker and contributed some of the greatest
films to the history of the movies: The Grand Illusion, The
River, and The Rules of the Game. In 1975 he
received an Academy Award for lifetime achievement for his body of
his work.
