Raymond Woog

Raymond Emmanuel Woog (25 October 1875, Paris - 10 May 1949, Neuilly-sur-Seine) was a French painter, designer and illustrator.

[1] In 1912, following the death of Jules Comte, founder of the Revue de l'art ancien et moderne [fr], Woog took over as provisional manager of the publication.

He began his career as an illustrator with a cover for the novel, Les Silences du colonel Bramble [fr], by André Maurois, who also served with British troops during the war.

[citation needed] This served as his entry into the milieu of the press, where he became a good friend of the journalist, Pierre Mille [fr].

He made many long stays in Seine-et-Marne, where he specialized in painting flowers; a theme he would return to when he retired in 1940 and settled in Crest.
