FROM STAINED-GLASS WINDOWS TO THE PRESS

His first highly-successful solo exhibition at the Parisian art gallery Le Tournesol attracts the attention of both publishers and fellow designers, and makes him think about earning a living from his art. He gives up making stained-glass windows and from now on, devotes all his time to drawing. France Soir, at that time a popular daily with a big circulation, opens its pages to him, asking him to illustrate Jacques Sternberg’s news columns. He marries and now has two children (a girl and a boy).
