Phillippe Marie exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants 1945, where the city of Paris bought the first painting. He then exhibited regularly at the Salon des Indépendants until 1989. In 1946 when this painting was created, he exhibited for the first time in Stockholm. At the end of the same year, he was noticed by Youki Desnos and exhibit at the Fontan gallery in Paris.

In the 1940s, Picard painted realistic portraits, still lifes, and landscapes; he experimented with black lines in his paintings. In the 1950s, his art became more expressionist.
