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.
