Three of the eighteen covers Pierre Le-Tan has done for The New Yorker
Pierre Le-Tan was born 1950 in Neuilly near Paris. He learned how to draw in the studio of his father, the painter Le-Pho, a well known Indochinese born artist. After having spent three months at the Paris Academie des Arts Décoratifs, he decided to quit and aged hardly 18, published the first of numerous covers for The New Yorker.
Pierre Le-Tan’s drawings have been published in every prestigious periodical fromVogue to The World of Interiors and have brought him international acclaim. He has become a cult figure for a small set of bright and sophisticated aesthetes.

So much movement in these.
PT&E - and yet so simple and subtle. There is an old World of Interiors' spread I'm looking for to post, it was fantastic. I love his work, there is something a little disturbing, a little off, about it. It might just be me though
Bummer... not in that set!
fairfax - no, but now I am de-termined to find it. Just another 5 or 6 years of back issues to go through. Maybe 8...
He's also quite a collector - I remember a WOI spread some years ago about some pictures he was selling off.
Is the spread you're talking about Cocteau's old apt. in the Palais-Royale?
quarter rat - a wonderful collection.
Hmm, no, I don't think that is the particular one. He did a room set out of his drawings. It was fantastic.
Now I'm going to have to look for the Cocteau abode as well...
He has completed a room in America, for clients. Cannot wait to see it.
