The painter Gustave Camille Gaston Cariot🎨 (1872-1950) was born in Paris in the Marais district.
His father was a luggage maker. Very young, Cariot drew sketches of Paris and the surrounding countryside.
The artist was strongly influenced by the work of Claude Monet🎨, his series of 1890-1891 and his views of the Cathedral of Rouen🎨, as well as by the technique of pointillist and divisionist🎨 painters.
