アントワーヌ・ド・サン＝テグジュペリ
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry met Lamotte in art school in France, and in the early 1940s spent a great deal of time in Lamotte's New York City studio at 3 East 52nd Street, called Le Bocal. It was one of the places where Saint-Exupéry worked on "Le petit prince". Lamotte also created the illustrations for Flight to Arras by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
