The influence of jean souverbie. In 1916, he enrolled at the ranson academy where he met the nabis: maurice denis, paul sérusier, édouard vuillard, félix vallotton. There he found his friend jean-eugène bersier, painter and engraver, art historian to whom he dedicated an oil on panel around 1930, entitled still life with pear and sugar. He finds there something to satisfy his taste for great theatrical compositions, his taste for the antique. His father died in 1918 and was forced to work. He left ranson academy and a few months later met a woman he married in 1920. She will become his favorite model, as well as the mother of their five children.
