Gustave Camille Gaston Cariot was a French painter. He was known for his Impressionist-style paintings of landscapes, still lifes, and portraits.
Cariot studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he was influenced by the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists. He exhibited his work at the Salon des Artistes Français and the Salon d'Automne, and won several awards and honors throughout his career.
Cariot's paintings are characterized by their use of light and color, with loose brushstrokes and a vibrant palette. His landscapes often depicted scenes of the French countryside, particularly the forests and rivers of the Fontainebleau region. His still lifes featured flowers, fruit, and other objects arranged in simple yet elegant compositions.
In addition to his paintings, Cariot also worked as an illustrator, creating illustrations for books and magazines. He illustrated the works of Émile Zola, Paul Verlaine, and other writers.
His paintings are held in the collections of many museums and galleries, including the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
