Hubert de Lartigue was born in 1963 in Angers, France. He started to work as an illustrator while studying at the Ecole Duperré and the Ecole Estienne and has produced many covers for science fiction books and board games. In the past decade he also starting painting pin-ups. His precise and delicate rendering combines the French pin-up esthetic of Brénot and Aslan with the American esthetic of Vargas, Petty and Elvgreen.

Hubert de Lartigue is represented by the premier venue for pin-up artwork in the world, Louis K. Meisel Gallery in New York. Mr. Meisel is author of The Great American Pin-Up and is an enthusiastic collector of de Lartigue's paintings.
