Biography:
Born in Rouen, Raymond Dendeville (1901-1968) exhibited for the first time in 1915. He made numerous sketches of soldiers passing through Normandy and in particular English regiments.
Noticed by Louis Fabulet, translator of Rudyard Kipling in France, he was introduced to artistic circles.
He settled in Elbeuf in 1920, following his father who was appointed director of Crédit du Nord. Having left for Paris after the First World War to train, notably in the workshops of the Académie de la Grande Chaumière, he returned to Elbeuf in 1924 to treat his fragile health and remained there for the rest of his life.
In 1929, he presented fruits and flowers at the Salon des Indépendants. He taught at the Rouen School of Fine Arts.
Raymond Dendeville was close to the writer of Elbeuvian origin Jean Gaument and the painter Marie Ritleng.
He exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes Normands, the Salon d'Automne, the Salon des Tuileries and the Salon des Indépendants.
His wife donated forty-four of her husband's works to the Elbeuf Museum in 1986.
