As a member of the Société des Artistes graveurs au burin, he participated in the 1914 International Exhibition of the Book industry and the Graphics Arts in Leipzig, Germany. Between 1923 and 1932 he exhibited at the Société des Amis des Arts in Dijon and in Versailles. In 1930, the Galerie Georges-Petit in Paris organized an exhibition of his watercolors. He lived in Paris on the avenue Perrichont and in Versailles in the rue de Satory during the period 1900 until the end of the 1930’s. In 1907 he married Catherine-Amélie Sandier in Beaune, daughter of Alexandre Sandier (Beaune 1843-Chorey-les-Beaune 1916), interior architect and ceramicist and director of the famous porcelain factory, the Manufacture de Sèvres. The couple frequently visited the Sandier family home in the village of Chorey-les-Beaune, just next to the chateau, and moved there permanently at the end of the 1930’s.
