Bernard Lamotte (1903 – September 28, 1983) was a Paris-born artist, illustrator, painter, and muralist. He attended the École des Beaux-Arts at the Sorbonne and studied under Bernand Corman and Lucien Simon. From 1932 to 1935, he traveled to Tahiti and New York and in 1935 he moved to New York City to pursue his art. Lamotte's travels inspired his works, as demonstrated by his cityscapes of Paris, New York, and Tahiti. Lamotte beautifully captured modern day Parisian city life and street scenes. Lamotte's style is reminiscent of other artists of the School of Paris, modern with a flair for the romantic. His technique gave his oil paintings the look and texture of a watercolor. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our father was a bibliophile who collected rare books, letters, and ephemera for more than 60 years.
