Biography inspired by jean-françois raffaëlli, he began his artistic career shortly before the first world war, exhibiting watercolors noticed by the art dealer durant-ruel at the salon des indépendants in 1912. In the 1920s, his favorite subject remained paris, from which he produced numerous enhanced engravings. He sets up his studio at place de l'estrapade. The publisher albert morancé published some of his works in the famous byblis magazine. In 1928, he produced a series of 50 plates on the working-class districts of paris which the national museums acquired in 1930 on behalf of the louvre chalcography. He had a son, lucien, an engraver like him, who took the pseudonym legarf. Quote in 1923, jean robiquet, curator of the carnavalet museum, wrote about him: “don't ask him where he comes from, or where he learned to look, to sketch and to feel. His work indicates this quite clearly, the small open-air markets, the stalls of the rue st-jacques, the slopes of the rare grass of the fortifications, the lost corners of old montmartre, such were his first fields of observation, his first painter's workshops. Preserved from any school influence, he had no other master than paris, no other teaching than the daily spectacle of our streets and our suburbs, other models than passers-by. And this is undoubtedly the secret of such an original talent, of a work where the smallest detail takes on an accent of truth. ».
