Robert Lassalvy

Robert Lassalvy (Cournonterral, France, 22 April 1932 - 31 March 2001) was a French caricaturist and cartoon designer. After four years of studies in Graphic Arts school of Paris, he devoted himself to cartoons.
His caricatures are mainly related to human sexuality. Lassalvy was published in France, Germany, Denmark, Brazil, Bulgaria, ex-Yugoslavia, Italy, Spain, England, Japan...etc.
Collaborator of "LUI" since the founding of the French erotic magazine in the 60s, and of most national and international humorous weeklies, Lassalvy began his career in the Roaring postwar Saint-Germain-des-Prés. It is in the burgeoning world of the Latin Quarter, in the era of existentialism that he found a fertile ground to externalize his humor and fantasy.
From "Ici Paris" to "Playboy", from "Lui" to "La Vie Catholique", he published in all the major French newspapers and international media for 50 years.
From 1997 he also made many paintings from cubism genre.
A few months before his death on 31 March 2001 he was promoted to the rank of "Chevalier des arts et des lettres" by the French ministry of culture.
