Evolving from an Expressionist Fauvist style to Cubism and finally embracing Abstraction towards the end of his short life. He even studied mosaic in Ravenna. He showed bravery and resistance in Corsica during World War II. After marrying a woman from Toulon, they settled in Saint Tropez, where this large painting was created.
