Researcher, animator, explorer of the Plastic Arts. He founded the group of Proletarian Painters with Ambrogiani, Diana, Toncini, Serra, and he published magazines and books… His contribution to the dissemination of modern art, with “Taches d'encre”, or Peuple et Culture, is a militant contribution, which allows a whole generation of Marseille visual artists to make themselves known in the interwar period. His personal works, lithographs and ceramics are in the analytical spirit of André Lhote and Gleize.
