His work bore a kinship to that of Bonnard though Brianchon’s color was less intense, containing countless tonal gradations. Without being influenced by the new aesthetic movements of his era, he became part of the realistic tradition of French painting and belonged to the School of Paris.

He painted the banks of the Seine, the circus and the interiors of various ateliers.

He studied in the free workshops in Montparnasse. He was a regular participant at the Salon des Independants, the Salon d’ Automne and later the Salon de Comparaisons and the Salons des Realites Nouvelles. He did many decorative compositions for public buildings, vitrines as well as medals for the Mint. Though his work had a somewhat expressionistic character in the beginning, it gradually evolved toward abstraction.

His exhibitions were mainly in Cannes and Paris. In 1946 he became a member of the committee for the Salon des Realites Nouvelles. In 1950 he exhibited in South America.

He started doing abstract painting very early in his career, his first abstract work dating in 1913. From 1921 on he investigated the relationship between music and visual creation transforming musical works by Bach and Debussy into paintings.
