Following in Quarez's footsteps, Pierre Bernard and Gérard Paris-Clavel [fr] studied in Warsaw and later co-founded Grapus together. Quarez joined the organization, but his differences with the group caused him to leave after three years.[3] His works were characterized by large, colorful shapes. His works have been exhibited in Saint-Denis, Chaumont, the Bibliothèque Forney [fr], the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, and others.
