He studied at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris where he received classical training in painting. In the 1920s, he began exhibiting his works in art fairs. He was quickly noticed for his paintings of female nudes. His works were often controversial because of their daring nature.
