Presented in three chapters; the first consists of essays devoted to the man and his work, his German origins, and his approach to painting before and after his arrival in 1928 in Aix-en-Provence, following in the footsteps of Cézanne.

The second, a selection of his works : lithographs, drawings, and canvases presented chronologically bear witness to different periods in his career exemplified in Venetian and Aix-en-Provence landscapes and in themes inspired by the Gospel, all bespeaking steadfastness of commitment and the integrity of his choice.

The third, the voice of the painter himself, admits us into the intimacy of his thinking, the intangible rules which he chose to obey. His ideas and elective affinities in art and philosophy are revealed in extracts culled from his Diary.
