Rémur, Tanguy de
Tanguy de Rémur (January 1, 1933 - December 14, 2015) was a French explorer, cartographer, and illustrator active in the second half of the 20th century. Rémur was born in Saint Quentin and is today considered one of the finest illustrators of his generation. He participated in the Claude Collin Delavaud Mount Ararat Expedition in 1958. In 1961 he worked with Rémo Forlani on Cinéma, Télévision. From 1967 to about 1987 he illustrated the magazine Paris-Match.

In cartographic circles, he is known as the illustrator of the important Marie Tharp (1920 - 2006) / Bruce Charles Heezen (1924 - 1977) map of the world's ocean floors. He died in Port-Marly at 82.
