Biography
His family was originally from Nîmes. As a young man, he went to Paris, where he studied drawing, later serving as a teacher of that subject.
Following World War I, he became a professor in Philippeville (now known as Skikda), then in Constantine. At that time, he visited Kabylie and would come to spend much of his spare time there, painting landscapes.
After retiring, in 1929, he moved to Douéra, in the Algerian Sahel, and continued to paint Orientalist-themed scenes.
His early work shows the influence of Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot.
