About Edouard Chimot Édouard Chimot was a French artist, illustrator and editor whose career reached its peak in the 1920s in Paris, through the publication of fine quality art-printed books. Born in Lille, Chimot studied at the École des Arts décoratifs in Nice, and then at the Beaux-Arts, Lille. His first exhibition of drawings, etchings, and monotypes was in 1912; this was a success, and earned him a commission to illustrate René Baudu’s text Les Après-midi de Montmartre. Then came the long interruption of the First World War, during which Chimot was mobilized for nearly five years. After the war, Chimot rented Renoir’s studio in the Boulevard de Rochechouart. In 1921, Chimot founded a magazine, La Roseraie: Revue des Arts et des Lettres, published by the printer and publisher La Roseraie under Chimot’s artistic direction. This magazine ceased production after a single issue. While Chimot's magazine failed, it led to a breakthrough in his career. He became the artistic director of Les Éditions d’Art Devambez. Between 1923 and 1931, from his atelier in the rue Ampère, he oversaw the production of an array of books. During this timeframe, Chimot also made at least two films. Chimot had fallen in love with Spain while researching the illustrations for his edition of La Femme et le Pantin by Pierre Lou s in 1928. During the Second World War, he and his wife, Loulou, took refuge from the war in the holiday house they had bought in Barcelona. Hence Chimot’s publications afterwards, appeared in Barcelona, and mostly illustrate Spanish-language texts. Chimot died in Paris in 1959. S1.
