He used famous landmarks in Paris, it's nearly always a tram coming, a flower cart or market, half a car coming in left corner, or going in the right corner.<br />But he was successful, even though he painted so many similar, he found buyers to them. And they are still very popular.<br /><br />Steinar Siiger LarsenUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00319782782947398899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386792699908580407.post-30888044484761971922010-06-12T07:23:19.904-07:002010-06-12T07:23:19.904-07:00Thanks Victoria, As he painted for 60 years, there...Thanks Victoria, As he painted for 60 years, there are many works....5000 gouache plus his oils of rural landscapes and marine scenes. <br />Once you see one of his rural landscapes, it is easy to spot his hand....the same with his Paris scenes.<br />I so enjoy your blog and loved your red chairs!MyFavoriteFrenchAntiqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04039962274486106886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386792699908580407.post-88098562695408306712010-06-11T12:50:30.049-07:002010-06-11T12:50:30.049-07:00What a wonderful post.

I love a great excentic personality with the work to match!<br />I believe I might have seen some of his work, but did not know him by name. Beautiful scenes.

The "back story" is always so interesting. I'll bet authentication could be an issue with so many psuedonymns. I got tickled at the marriage story...he was so busy painting, it was probably just easier to marry the girls next door!
