The sculptor jean carriès approaches the lion family and eugene will benefit from the contribution of what is now called the school of carriès, in a very personal interpretation he will combine asian inspiration and local tradition, using strong contrasts. He will still collaborate with other artists immersed in this movement such as william lee, paul jeanneney or abbot pacton. He launched himself into copper red in 1920 which gave rise to a remarkable red wine dregs that would make his reputation. He creates some original and personal forms creating the synthesis between traditional object and art object, rural world and urban world. He won a medal at the lepine competition in 1933.
