Gérard Lauzier studied architecture and philosophy before he started his artistic education at the ateliers of Perret and Lagneaux. After producing some work for the press, he went to Brazil for a couple of years, where he did advertising work, as well as caricatures for Le Journal de Bahia (1958-59). Back in France, he returned to humorous illustrations. He contributed to several magazines until 1973, including Lui, France-Soir, Paris-Match and Paris-Presse.
