He creates a series of paintings inspired by the buildings of Grimaldi—and other structures of the same period—by forcing himself into giving his canvases a cement and chalk aspect characteristic of these constructions. 1951 In January, he goes back to Delft, where the Lamvert Van Meerten Museum devotes an entire exhibition to him. April shows at the Bennewitz Gallery in The Hague. In May returns to Le Cannet. 1954 His oil-paint takes on a thickness, the colours become more sober.
