The pieces here are selected for their ability to compose rather than simply occupy, each one chosen with an awareness of how it reads from a distance and how it holds up to closer inspection. French furniture of the 17th and 18th centuries was made with exactly this in mind, where proportion, material, and joinery were considered together rather than separately. Lighting at either end of a console table anchors the arrangement and extends the room's warmth into the evening. A mirror above draws the eye upward and opens the space, while a sculptural object at table height introduces a counterpoint that prevents the whole from reading as merely decorative.

He painted instinctively, with lots of substance and a very intense palette. Provence was one of his favorite subjects, and his luminous landscapes, reminiscent of Impressionist techniques, were soon so successful that they spread beyond the south of France and opened the door to Parisian galleries. The generosity of his painting, which speaks to everyone, and his spontaneous, realistic style, without any sentimentality, ensured his success that he was able to change professions and make a living from his new status as a painter.
