He immigrated to Canada in 1951 and lived for many years in Montreal’s Milton-Park neighbourhood, at various addresses on Lorne Avenue and Durocher Street, near Milton Street. He was simultaneously a photographer, a printmaker, a poet, and a ceramicist. He died intestate at the age of sixty-nine, in 1982. As he had no relatives in Canada, all of his belongings – including his many artworks – were taken by the Public Curator of Quebec and sold at auction. The McCord Museum acquired his collection of photographs, which numbers several thousand. " (Zoë Tousignant). Very Good .
