Grandville

Jean-Ignace-Isidore Gerard , known as J.J. Grandville , born with Nancy the September 3rd 1803 and died in the lunatic asylum of Vanves the March 17th 1847, is a Dessinateur, Aquarelliste, Caricaturiste and Lithographe French.

Its satirical boards are loads against the contemporaries or of the attacks against the Monarchie of July. Its drawings displeased too much with Adolphe Thiers, which made promulgate under Louis-Philippe a law requiring an prior approval for the publication of drawings.

He contributed actively to the review the Devil in Paris by illustrating the Heartbreaks of an English and other scenes of private life and public she-cat of the animals of Balzac, and tales of Charles Nodier, George Sand and Pierre-Jules Hetzel (under the pseudonym of P.J. Stahl).

He turned then to the illustration, which made it famous: he illustrated works of Honore de Balzac, those of Florian, Swift, Defoe, and especially the Fables of the Fountain (1838). The Métamorphoses of the day, as of their first appearance, caused Imitation S on behalf of other artists, that about which Grandville did not fail to complain. Its fantastic drawings and Zoomorphie S (metamorphoses of human beings, animals and plants) ( Another world , 1844) were worth to him to be asserted by the Surréaliste S.
