Painting The lovers of Raymond PEYNET "the signs of the zodiac": The Scorpion Technique: Etching whose copper was engraved by Peynet himself. The engraving is signed and numbered 7/220 Raymond Peynet was born on November 16, 1908 in Paris, He first turned to advertising illustration. It was in 1942, during a trip to Valence, that he had the idea of his famous little musician, a violinist with long hair and a nice simple suit, while he was waiting on a bench in front of a bandstand. From the beginning of the 50's to the end of the 60's, the Lovers became a symbol of a France of another time. But times change and Peynet's Lovers are no longer in fashion in the 70s. It reappears in the 90s, where suddenly we remember, in a positive way, the 50s ! Peynet will leave us in 1999.
