Student of Luc-Oliver Merson, it holds especially Emile Dameron, his second master, his taste as the trivial landscapes that he animates of peasant crowds in general: fishermen and boats, rocky coast and processions, that's all directory Brittany folflorique who feeds his work. He also exhibited at the Salon from 1909, marine and views of Paris in watercolor. A work that does not obviously not erring originality but in its serenity and well assured technique, is a faithful mirror of the fervor of the painter for the Breton everyday life.
