Appointed inspector of Moroccan arts in Rabat that same year, he developed a unique body of work at the crossroads of North African influences and French academic training.

From the 1940s onwards, he divided his time between Algeria, Morocco and France, before teaching drawing at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris after 1962.
