Settled in Saint Tropez in 1903, he met Paul Signac and was seduced by neo-impressionism and divisionism. He married Henri Lebasque's daughter in 1919 and became Matisse's friend in 1941 !! After the sights of Paris from his beginnings, he devoted himself to painting landscapes of the Mediterranean coast, on the French Riviera but also in Italy and North Africa. He worked in oil and watercolor and produced works dominated by light. . Sources: Bénézit
