After the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Lille, which devoted a retrospective to him in 1967, the Fould Museum of Courbevoie paid tribute to him with an exhibition in 2012. These exhibitions allowed us to rediscover an artist who at that time was very famous and appreciated for his portraits whose style has evolved throughout his career.
