A distant cousin of toulouse-lautrec, he studied at the école des beaux-arts in paris and began exhibiting at the salon des artistes français as early as 1906, where he earned several distinctions, including a second grand prix de rome in 1913. In 1939, he created the iconic poster for the inaugural cannes film festival, which was ultimately canceled, depicting a woman applauding beside a man in formal attire. In 1950, he was elected to the institut de france and became the curator of the jacquemart-andré museum, where he organized major exhibitions.
