He studied in Paris where he was a pupil of Henri Royer and Marcel Baschet at the Académie Julian, and of William Bouguereau and Luc-Olivier Merson at the École des Beaux-Arts. Georg Grosz, the German satirical artist to whom his work is often compared, was a major influence on his work. He was commissioned to illustrate a series of books about the streets and faces of famous cities."
