In the mid-1890s, he became interested in the Pictorialist movement, which sought to establish photography as a fine art. He then became a member of several photographic societies and, from 1907, became passionate about the autochrome plate, the first direct color photography process invented by the Lumière brothers. In just a few years, he produced more than a thousand images, which constitute an unparalleled testimony to the rise of this technique. This first-rate collection highlights the extension of the Impressionist aesthetic that was imposed on photography as it was on the other arts.
