Shortly after, at the Salon of the Société des artistes français, he won an award that came with a travel grant, allowing him to visit London, Liverpool and Genoa.[1] From 1909 to 1911, he was engaged in painting the ceiling of the Village Hall in Les Lilas. In 1914, he volunteered for service in World War I and worked as a medical orderly in a field hospital near Dunkirk; during which time, he continued to sketch.
After the war, in 1920, he painted another ceiling, in the Town Hall of Montrouge, with a series depicting "Les âges de la vie" (The Ages of Life). That same year, he received the Prix de l'Indochine, and paid a six-month visit to the Far East. Finding himself attracted to the area, he settled in Hanoi the following year. His first work there was a "Canvas of Unity" for the amphitheatre of the University of Indochina.[1]
In 1925, he and his friend, the painter Nguyễn Nam Sơn, created the École des Beaux-Arts de l'Indochine (now the Vietnam University of Fine Arts), where he served as Director until 1936.[1]
