Born in Montmartre, Paris, France in 1904 School of Paris Painter and Lithographer Rodolphe Caillaux is known for his Expressionist paintings of landscapes, portraits and Basque genre scenes. He also made a sculpture for the Paris Mint (Monnaie de Paris) a medal of Maurice Ravel. A street bears his name to Saint-Jean-de-Luz.
Rodolphe Caillaux made his debut as a painter at the Salon des Indépendants in 1928, at the same time as Raymond Feuillatte, Alexander Calder, Otto Freundlich, Jean Helion, Georges Papazoff and Joaquin Torres Garcia. He entered the Salon d'Automne in 1932. With the start of the war he moved to Pau in 1940. He helped organize the Salon d'Automne Béarn. He returned to Paris in 1947.

From 1957 he took charge of a group at Salon Comparisons which he became president following Andrée Bordeaux-Le Pecq.
