C. and the bronze statues Femme à la chemise and La Douleur at the Salon der Société nationale des beaux-arts from 1908 . His work was initially influenced by Auguste Rodin , but his work later took on more the features of the figurative art of the sculptors Antoine Bourdelle and Aristide Maillol . In the 1920s he made works in the Art Deco style . Some of these works were handcrafted and distributed by the Éditeur d'art (art publisher) and sculptor Jules Levi-Lehmann . The artist was a member of the artist group La Stèle , founded by the Éditeur d'art Arthur Goldscheider , who also published some of his works.
