It was from 1910, in the South and particularly in Bormes-les-Mimosas, that the painter tried to tame the light. His period in Bormes was that of his artistic maturity and his family happiness, surrounded by his wife Catherine Louchnikoff and their four young children. After living in the village, he built a small house at the Pointe de Gouron in La Favière and shared his life between Bormes and Paris for about fifteen years. His favorite subjects were trees, his lifelong passion, but also members of his family and Mediterranean landscapes.
