| Abstract painter, born in St Ouen, NC France. He studied architecture at Amiens and the École des Beaux-Arts, Paris (1929) and took up painting in 1935. After the war, he made a retreat in the Abbaye de Soligny, Orme, which had a profound influence on his work. He was a member of the School of Paris, and designed stained-glass windows, tapestries, stage-sets, and costumes. His works include ‘Près d'Harlem’ (1953, Musée Des Beaux-Arts, Dijon), and examples of his stained-glass designs are in churches in Breseaux, Arles, and Basel. |
