Extrait de Wikipedia, l'Encyclopedie libre.

Comédien amateur dans la troupe des Comédiens Routiers de Léon Chancerel à partir de 1930, il intègre les Copiaus de Jacques Copeau en 1935 et fonde avec Jean Dasté et André Barsacq l'année suivante le Théâtre des Quatre saisons. Il y développe un idéal de décentralisation dramatique et populaire, confiant décors et costumes aux jeunes peintres de sa génération, tels Jean Le Moal et Jean Bazaine.

Directeur de studio des Champs-Élysées de 1944 à 1972, il ouvre ses portes à de jeunes metteurs en scène prometteurs comme Jean Vilar, Roger Blin, Jean-Marie Serreau, Jacques Mauclair, Nicolas Bataille ou Antoine Bourseiller. Il introduit en France les textes de Federico Garcia Lorca, défend le théâtre de Ionesco et lance également la carrière des Frères Jacques et de Jacques Higelin.

Il participe également, comme conseiller artistique, à la naissance du Centre dramatique de l'Ouest en 1949, avec Hubert Gignoux, rencontré auprès de Chancerel.
