His distinctive style, characterized by simplified shapes and bright colors, helped popularize the Art Deco aesthetic in the 1920s and 1930s. He created posters for the Moulin Rouge, the Casino de Paris, the Théâtre de Opera and for renowned film directors. His work is considered emblematic of French Art Deco.
