He travelled to England, Spain and Italy, and he worked on the Mediterranean coast in Saint-Tropez, Nice, and Cannes. Until 1905, he painted mainly landscapes in an Impressionist manner.

Biography

Although he was unwilling for people to consider him a Fauve, Charles Classé called him a Fauve modéré. He formed friendships with Henri Matisse, Henri Manguin, and Georges Rouault. Lebasque died in August 1937 at Le Cannet in the south of France.
