close to the expressionists, in the tradition of the painters kees van dongen and georges rouault, he is the painter of nightlife, bars, night clubs, jazz clubs in marseille, then in paris starting from the 1920s. This canvas, which he created following abstract expressionism, and which belongs to his parisian period as evidenced by the address of his atelier in montmartre written on the frame, is a real exception: an emerald green vase on a brown background from which it practically explodes a lush bouquet of flowers, with bright shades of white, red and blue, yellow, the colors expertly spread with a spatula, dense, capable of giving a strong image, which strikes the viewer, just like his cabaret ladies.
