"Trained in the studio of the painter Théophile Deyrolle (1844 – 1923) in Concarneau, Lionel Floch began to exhibit after the War, in Brest and Quimper, then in Paris at the Salon d'Automne, in 1924, landscapes, scenes of fairground circuses, pardons, seaweed picking ..... He settled, in 1923, in Pont-Croix and became friends with the painters who stayed in this small town of Cap Sizun like Paul de Lassence (1886–1962), Claude Venard (1913–1999), Gale Turnbull (1889 - ?), Jean Deyrolle (1911-1967) ..... as well as with the artistic and literary circles of Quimper like Max Jacob, Giovanni Léonardi, Jean Moulin, Prefect of Châteaulin and Doctor Augustin Tuset (1893-1967), with whom he visited North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula. In 1934, Lionel Floch was one of the founders of the Union Artistique de Quimper, which organized the Salon des peintres de Bretagne. He was one of those who approached "engraving as an extension of painting"; in etching, he himself engraved scenes sometimes taken from or extracted from his large oil compositions. And, while it is almost certain that he himself engraved the wood, his approach to relief engraving above all renewed the old relationship between an artist and his translator: most often, in fact, he entrusted Augustin Tuset, an amateur sculptor and engraver who had introduced him to xylography, with the task of transferring his drawings onto wood grain or, more frequently, linoleum. The subjects of his prints are the same as those of the canvases, and the constructions almost identical, but the stiffness of the penknife drawing and the monochrome accentuate the severity of the serious, elderly, grieving figures, the harshness of the seaweed harvesters' task, the confrontation of the wrestlers."
