Gabriel de Lautrec, born on 21 FEBRUARY 1867 has Béziers and died on 25 July 1938, is a French novelist, poet, translator and humorist.
Gabriel de Lautrec is a cousin of the painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, but he only had distant relationships with him
He is the forgotten disciple ofAlphonse Allais. Columnist, translator And poet, he was also an honest joker.
He appeared in Paris in 1889, slender and elegant, wearing a monocle, he was a viscount, and smoked a cigar. A tutor in a Parisian high school, he frequents the literary brasseries of Latin Quarter and metAlphonse Allais At Black cat, the Montmartre cabaret. He obtained his degree in letters and published the collection of Prose poems (1898) which opened the doors of literary Paris to him.
Gabriel de Lautrec runs a salon at Passy where he receives John Lorrain, Willy, John of Tinan, Alfred Jarry, Oscar Wilde And Paul Verlaine. He had met the latter “one evening, over coffee, naturally, rue Soufflot. A fifty-year-old man, tired, dragging his leg, but proud. And a real faun’s face. » When the poet dies, Gabriel de Lautrec watches over his body. He will admit in his memoirs to having stolen a lock of his hair.
Among its titles of glory, it is necessary to note the foundation in 1930 of theAcademy of humor with Curnonsky And Courteline.
He also translated tales of Mark Twain, which he preceded with an essay on humor.
It is mentioned by Roland Dorgelès in In the good weather of La Butte, Paris, Albin-Michel, 1963, pp.178-181)
In 1929, Lautrec retired as a Latin professor at Marseille then returns to Paris, sick and disappointed. He did not experience any real consecration. Unlucky candidate forFrench Academy in 1923, he obtained the Legion of Honor in 1936.
