Georges Laporte was born in Montmartre. He started his artistic career at the age of 20, after working as a customs agent. He spent several years in Burgundy, in the villages of Chalon and Givry, where he painted numerous sights. Later on, he discovered Brittany and settled his workshop to Quiberon.

The landscapes he paints are of the artist's destinations, having as recurrent motif, the sea. In 1958, he won the Bastian Lepage Prize at the Salon des Artistes Français. That same year, one of his pieces won the Prize of the City of Aix-en-Provence competing against 300 painters from all around France. His representations of the Island of Beauty were exhibited by the Bastia Museum in the exhibition "40 Great Artworks of Corsica" in 1990. Some of his exhibitions have gathered almost 80 0000 visitors.
