The Congolese art in particular influenced his work.

He painted his first works under the influence of Impressionism until he discovers in 1905 dautomne living canvases of Matisse and Derain Henri André. Then begins an artistic collaboration with Othon Friesz with whom he made a trip to Antwerp, then the following year in Estaque (oeuvres du Rhone) where he brought wild paintings of pure colors and geometric compositions. His paintings are exhibited in March 1906 independent living. In 1907, it is marked by the exhibition of paintings of Paul Cézanne in dautomne lounge. He begins to develop a new system of representation based on the simplification and geometric shapes and the flattening of perspective.

Then he met Pablo Picasso who then painted ladies of Avignon. This is a revelation to him. Consistent with these influences and his interest in art primitive, his pictorial orientation is completely upset. Then he painted, from December 1907 to June 1908, the great naked in which he represents the volumes identified by wide hatched black.

During the exhibition of his paintings at the Kahnweiler Gallery, the critic Louis Vauxcelles compares his painting to a pile of small cubes. The word is said, from 1909 to 1912, Braque and Picasso develop theories of Cubism.

His style and his research will evolve once more individually but there will always be concerned about the representation of the subject as evidenced by his many studies of workshops, round tables or still lifes. It will attach great importance to the matter of its colors, freedoms shapes and rhythm of his figures.

He continued his work in the same perspective of cubism, allowing it to evolve into forms less angular and more colorful tones, a little closer to reality.

For him, this is also a message to his friend laurens, deceased. The paint still shines for this absolute space and will continue his research far from fashions and Parisian salons.
