Brô's works of this period - pottery, drawings and paintings – are close to the works of Paul Klee or to that which Jean Dubuffet characterized as art brut. In 1954 Brô had his first one-man exhibition in Paris. Ten years later, in 1964, he was invited to represent France at the Venice Biennial.Brô later withdrew to his country house in the Norman Courgeron where he suddenly died there at the age of 56.
