He was already well known before this event, having exhibited his paintings at the Berthe Weil gallery and being already under contract to the dealer Ambroise Vollard, his business was prosperous from the start of his career.

A friend of Paul Signac, he traveled extensively to Saint-Tropez, a town that provided him with many new landscapes, as well as to Honfleur, favored town of the painter Félix Vallotton.

After exhibiting in many places in France and also in Russia, he moved to Switzerland during the First World War.

He died in Gassin, in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, at the age of 75.
