He exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1925 to 1945, at the Cercle des Beaux-Arts in Madrid in 1928, and at the Société des Beaux-Arts in Nice and Roubaix.

Beginning in 1932 in Savoie, he painted the region's sunny nature, its villages, and old neighborhoods: Old Shop of Conflans (Albertville Museum), Savoyard Autumn (Douai Museum), Aix-les-Bains, and the Matafan (acquired by the French State in 1938).
He was appointed an officer of Public Instruction in 1938.
