He stayed in 1940 at Sables-d’Olonne and painted there a few harbor and coastal scenes. He worked from 1946 to 1949 in England. His style can be located between impressionism and romantic realism. From the press: ‘He made his animals move in an engaging landscape with a subtle play of light. He projected horses, cows and sheep in village views and showed interest in the characteristic aspects of the industrial Leie or the Heulebeek landscapes.’ He became a teacher and was a temporary director at the Academy in Kortrijk. Works among others in the Museum in Kortrijk. Mentioned in the Lexicon of West Flemish visual artists II, BAS I, II and Two centuries of signatures of Belgian artists. Source: Piron.
