Edmond Malassis (14 December 1874 – 3 September 1944) was a French painter and illustrator.
Life
Edmond Malassis was born in the 10th arrondissement of Paris on 14 December 1874. He was a pupil of Gustave Moreau, and became a watercolourist.
Malassis worked primarily in the first half of the 20th century. A prolific book illustrator, he did not do his own engravings. In 1935, he exhibited at the galerie de l'Écale in the Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Paris.
He died in his home in the 7th arrondissement of Paris on 3 September 1944, aged sixty-nine.
