Three years later, in 1932, he went to Paris to the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts and won the Prix de Rome in 1935. After the war, he won a prize from the French Minister of Fine Arts. Advised by Vlaminck, the walls of Montmartre and the suburbs became his favorite subjects in a style that evokes the works of the Japanese artist Oguiss. He exhibited in Paris, at the Salons of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, Populiste and was a member of the Salons d'Hiver, the French Artists, the Independents, the Free Art, and the French School. He received the Hamon Prize in 1959 and the first prize of Montmartre in homage to Maurice Utrillo in 1961. In order to attract an American clientele, he adopted a lighter palette and painted scenes of Paris in the 1900s under the pseudonym Antoine Blanchard in a style close to Eugène Galien-Laloue.
