From figurative art to abstraction

He arrived in Paris in 1921 as a self-taught artist and went to the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. He will devote himself to figurative painting then he turns to abstraction from 1938.

In the two years that followed, the Bing Gallery devoted a solo exhibition to him. During this period, his work included still life scenes, interior scenes and portraits. In 1945, he met the artist Nicolas de Staël, who became a friend of his.
