Pierre La Mure (15 June 1909 – 28 December 1976) was a French author.
La Mure was born in Nice, in department Alpes-Maritimes. He published the 1950 novel Moulin Rouge about the life of the French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. This book was the basis of the classic 1952 movie of the same name.[1] He later penned the play Monsieur Toulouse; a work centered on Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's relationship to Marie Charlet, a prostitute, and his meeting with fellow artist Vincent van Gogh. The play was premiered by the Worthing Theatre Company at the Connaught Theatre in October 1957 with Ian Holm as Toulouse-Lautrec, Gene Anderson as Marie Charlet, Elizabeth Spriggs as Madame Loubet, Angela Browne as Leontine, Ivan Stafford as Ernest, and Roland Curram as Van Gogh.[2]
La Mure also produced the book Beyond Desire about the life of Cécile and Felix Mendelssohn[3] and the biographical novel Claire de Lune on the life and struggles of French composer Claude Debussy, published in 1962.[4] He died in California in the United States, aged 67.
