He was featured in the Indépendants exhibitions of 1932 and 1941, most recently with a portrait of the writer René de Planhol; a silver medal at the 1937 World’s Fair for a Portrait of a Woman.
He also created large-scale decorative works, including those for the Maternity Hospital in Nancy; two triptychs and two facing panels depicting bucolic scenes as well as: Professor Fruhinsholz’s Consultation and Visit to a Woman Who Has Recently Given Birth; a sketch of this work is housed at the town hall in Oissel (76).  For the High Court of Justice in Lima, Peru, he copied: Divine Justice and Vengeance Pursuing Crime by Prud’hon.
