In 1928, he married Yvette Dorignac, daughter of the painter Georges Dorignac. He rubbed shoulders with the painter's entourage, exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants and met Paul Cornet, Charles Despiau, Aristide Maillol and Charles Malfray, who became his spiritual teachers. During his stay at the Villa Abd-el-Tif in Algeria, between 1932 and 1935, he executed numerous commissions, including the Fondouk Monument, which were noticed by Albert Camus with whom he became friends. During the war, in France, he created a large female figure for the city of Bordeaux and a high relief of Saint Marcel for the church in Vitry-sur-Seine. He stayed again in Algeria from 1948 to 1954 and, on his return to Paris, was appointed professor at the École des Beaux-Arts and became a founding member of the Groupe des Neuf.
