Gerard Lartigue is a painter living in the south of France (Toulouse). His studio is located near the river. He likes to draw the "Pont Neuf" whenever he needs to take some fresh air. This artist, globe-trotter in his youth, studied Fine Arts in America, at 2000 meters over sea level, in the biggest city of North America, Mexico City. He has lived in Mexico, Sweden, Equator, and in several cities in France. Now he seems to have found a home for a long time near the mountains, in Toulouse. He exhibits his work every couple of years in different cultural galleries.
