Claude Weisbuch studied with Camille Hilaire and André Vahl at the École nationale supérieure d'art de Nancy. He was then appointed professor of engraving at the École des Beaux-arts de Saint-Étienne. After a confidential start, he became known in 1961, when he received the Prix de la Critique.
His work is essentially devoted to engraving, through which he likes to translate, thanks to the line, the life, the movement and the character of his characters: puppets, harlequins, musicians or equestrian scenes. For Patrick Waldberg, "Man appears as an obsessive theme in Weisbuch's work, whether he tries to capture him in the mirror by contemplating his own image, or whether he surprises him in the features of his visitors, or whether he tries to decipher him in the masters of yesteryear whom he venerates, Jacques Callot, Rembrandt or Honoré Daumier".
Although he uses various techniques (lithography, drypoint, etc.) to illustrate bibliophile books, he is also a painter and draughtsman. His favourite colours are ochres, browns and whites, with which he seeks to introduce the effects of light through compositions where the line and the finesse of the drawing preserve the life found in his engravings.
In 1968, he became a full member of the Société des peintres-graveurs français4.
Claude Weisbuch died in April 2014 and is buried in the Montparnasse cemetery.
