He is there with the painters Le Fauconnier, Conrad Kickert and Yves Alix. Ploumanach and its surroundings, Perros-Guirec with their entanglements of rocky masses constitute a framework favorable to research on cubism. André Favory goes beyond the representation of reality and introduces a volume treatment of forms. The works of André Favory in Brittany let us glimpse the work of geometrization of rocks, sky and nature.
