Around about 1919 he worked in Juvisy-sur-Orge where he made lots of engravings. He painted – all in an impressionnist style – street scenes, carnivals, Flemish fairs, masked balls in the theatre of Brussels, Ostend beach scenes, sunny, flowering gardens and so on. In 1912 he exhibited at the Salon of “Pour l’Art” and at the Salon des Artistes Français in Paris.
