Joining the Fauvist painters such as Matisse, Dufy, Gleizes, among others, in Montmartre and Montparnasse, he formed friendships with them. Evolving from a Fauvist Expressionist style, passing through Cubism, and ultimately embracing Abstraction towards the end of his short life. He even studied mosaic in Ravenna.

He showed bravery and resistance in Corsica during the Second World War. After marrying a woman from Toulon, they settled in Saint Tropez, where this large painting was created.

Their house became an important meeting place for artists. The New York gallery of Julien LEVY permanently exhibited the works of this artist alongside Braque, Picasso, etc.
