biography
Jean Reutlinger was the eldest son of the photographer Léopold-Émile Reutlinger , he had a younger sister (Simone) and a younger brother (Jacques). The father was a nephew of the photographer Charles Reutlinger , who had come to Paris from Karlsruhe in 1850 and opened a studio there.
Reutlinger grew up in Paris and with his maternal grandparents who lived in Orry-la-Ville . He traveled several times to Baden-Baden in Germany to visit his father's parents alone, where he was bored and homesick. As a young adult he traveled to England and the USA . In October 1913, at the age of 22, he opted for French citizenship.
From 1910 to 1914, Jean Reutlinger worked with his father in his atelier on Boulevard Montmartre 21. In these almost four years he created thousands of photographic portraits in sepia and black and white , including numerous photographs by artists popular at the time such as Sarah Bernhardt and La Belle Otéro . In addition, he documented sporting events and practiced experimental photography.
Reutlinger was very athletic. One of his sporting role models was the German athlete and sculptor Hanns Braun , with whom he became friends and whom he photographed numerous times. Under various pseudonyms he wrote sports articles for La Vasque , a literary magazine, and for L'Auto, among others . He also photographed himself in various athletic positions. He worked as a fencer and in 1912 became Paris University Champion in athletics (hurdles, long and high jump).
Reutlinger was also active in literature: numerous texts by him have survived that were published in La Vasque under the pseudonym Doriane G. as an homage to Oscar Wilde . In Paris he frequented circles of writers who also practiced rhythmic gymnastics, similar to eurythmy . He was in a relationship with Germaine Schroeder , an art bookbinder , who later became the wife of screenwriter Bernard Zimmer . After Reutlinger's death, she looked after his estate.
At the beginning of the First World War , Reutlinger was drafted as a soldier. He asked Germaine Schroeder to visit the garrison in order to hand over numerous personal documents "as if he had foreseen his death". During the advance of the Germans on Paris on August 22, 1914 alone, 27,000 French soldiers fell in the Ardennes , including Jean Reutlinger. In 1922 he was posthumously awarded the French military medal.
The estate with Reutlinger's photographs is in the Bibliothèque nationale de France .
