Biographical Note:
Claude Renoir, also known as "Coco," was the youngest son of the French Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir and brother to the French character actor, Pierre, and filmmaker, Jean. He married Paulette Dupre in 1923 and they had one son, Paul, born in 1924. From 1933 through 1939, Claude was involved in film productions. He served valiantly in the Second World War winning many decorations including the Croix de Guerre. After the war he returned to film work, and then moved into television where he directed several dramatic works. He retired in 1950 and then turned to making ceramics with his son, Paul. Claude Renoir died at Antibes, France, October 19, 1969.
