Early life and career

Rancillac was born on 29 August 1931 in Paris. He spent his childhood in Algeria and returned to France with his family in 1937. In 1949, under family pressure, he tried to become teacher of drawing at the workshop of Met de Penninghen, where he met Bernard Aubertin. During his military service in Morocco, he first exhibited his drawings in a library of Meknes. In 1961, he received the prize for painting at the Biennial of Paris. In 1962, he became a pioneer of French Narrative Figuration.[4]
