He first worked figuratively on the canvas, drawing the buildings, the architectural elements such as the balcony. He then vigorously brushes full semicircular shapes that respond to each other in the center of the composition, tending towards abstraction. It was from 1913 that André Favory began to paint cubist works. This cubist parenthesis will last a year, until the beginning of the First World War when he is mobilized. His compositions oscillate both between a Cézannian cubism and a synthetic cubism. His style evolves, he seeks various means of expression. Free, he tries, experiments. He works both on cubism in its codes while deploying his personal imprint, that of a generous, sensual and colorful painting.
