French Painter. His greatest body of work is held in toto at the Meadows Museum of Art at Centenary College in Shreveport, Louisiana. These works depict French Indochina before the destruction of World War II and the wars that followed it. He fled to the United States to escape the Nazi occupation of France, and settled in Shreveport where he was sought after for his excellent portrait work. Winner of numerous awards for his artistic skill and personal bravery in World War I. (bio by: John Andrew Prime)
