Bernard Naudin

Bernard Étienne Hubert Naudin (11 November 1876, Châteauroux - 7 March 1946, Paris) was a French painter, designer, caricaturist, and engraver.

[1] In 1891, he created his first illustration (a 17th century bagpiper) for Jean Baffier, the publisher of a literary revue called Le Réveil de la Gaule.

In 1897, he was able to obtain a scholarship from the city of Châteauroux, that enabled him to study at the École des beaux-arts de Paris with Léon Bonnat.

Most notably, he provided drawings and caricatures for the satirical journal L'Assiette au Beurre (The Butter Plate, equivalent to "pork barrel" in English).

Diderot, Edgar Allan Poe, André Suarès, Georges Duhamel and Anatole France are among the many authors whose works he illustrated.
