Illustrator Pierre Le-Tan has died.
PARIS — Pierre Le-Tan, the French illustrator known for his whimsical works and delicate style, and whose drawings graced many a New Yorker cover, died on Tuesday at the age of 69.
Pierre Le-Tan also illustrated for magazines such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, the New York Times Magazine, Town & Country and Rolling Stone, and put his stamp on advertising campaigns for Lanvin, among other brands. “We are terribly sad to announce the passing of our wonderful Pierre Le-Tan,” his family said in a statement. “He left us last night after a long and very brave battle with cancer. He will be greatly missed by his mother, Paulette; his brother, Alain; his second wife, Toboré; his first wife, Plum; his five children, Alexis, Olympia, Cleo, Edward and Zoe, and his four grandchildren Dizzie, Victor, Otto and Alpha.
He was 18 years old, in 1968, when he produced his first cover for the New Yorker. Le-Tan, who lived in New York for years, penned and illustrated numerous books, as well, including with his friend Patrick Modiano.
