He attended l’Ecole des Beaux Arts-Havre, where he was influenced by Raoul Dufy and Georges Braque, among others. He then moved to Paris where he was employed at the Adademie Julian. His works were discovered by the public only in 1954 when the Parisian gellery Andre Weil held an exposition of his paintings; afterward, his paintings became popularized by those appreciating his avant guarde style.
