At the age of 12, seeing the drawing skills that his pupil possessed, his school principal suggested that he be admitted to the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Nancy. At the start of the First World War he moved with his family to take refuge in Haute-Marne at Chaumont. After learning to draw on his own, he became a pupil of Henry Gazan. He will live in Jœuf and Moyeuvre-Grande, employed as an industrial designer. In 1940, he took refuge in Puy-de-Dôme, then in 1960, he emigrated to Canada where he died in 1976.
