Biography
Born into an Alsatian family of famous brewers, his father Paul Schützenberger (1829–1897) was a French chemist. The painter Louis-Frédéric Schützenberger (1825–1903) was his cousin.
René Schützenberger studied at the Académie Julian, a private art school founded by Rodolphe Julian under Jean-Paul Laurens.
In 1891, he married Andree-Marie Bouland.
Schützenberger started to exhibit at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1889, at the Salon des Indépendants from 1902 and at the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts from 1907. He got an honourable mention at the Salon of 1897 and at the Universal Exhibition of 1900.
In 1911, Schützenberger exhibited at the "Exposition des Peintres du Paris moderne” in the Gallery Georges Petit.
In 1912 and in 1915, he participated in the Exposition of group of artists called "Cent Artistes” in the Gallery Henri Manuel.
He practiced genre painting, portraits, nudes and landscapes, treating the subjects of the daily life and intimate subjects. His style is close to the Post-Impressionism movement and was influenced by the Les Nabis group of Post-Impressionists, most of whom also studied at Académie Julian.
Retrospective exhibition Salon des Indépendants took place in 1926. Works by René Schützenberger were exhibited at Grand Palais along with works by Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh, Amedeo Modigliani, Georges Seurat, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Félix Vallotton and other painters.
