Renée Bernard was a French painter. She attended the Ecole Normale de Grenoble and continued her studies at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and at the Institut d'Art et d'Archeologie .
In Paris she joined the studio of Lucien Simon, her teacher at the École des Beaux-Arts. She painted, sometimes with gouache, figures, landscapes and mural decorations inspired by wild animals.
She became a drawing teacher in Parisian schools, a job she left after 18 years to become a drawing education inspector.
She exhibited at several salons in Paris and elsewhere, including the Société des Beaux-Arts de la France d'Outre-Mer , and was awarded several prizes: she received four prizes from the Institute and two prizes from the Fondation. Taylor Foundation prizes. In addition, she often received orders from the State or the City of Paris.
Thanks to the grants she received, she travelled to French West Africa, Morocco and the West Indies. His trip to French West Africa, won in 1940 and postponed in 1947 because of the Second World War, took him to Senegal, Sudan, Ivory Coast, Upper Volta, Mauritania and Guinea for eight months. He created the Renée-Bernard Prize at the Taylor Foundation to recognise talented artists.
