At the end of the First World War, he was one of the exhibitors at the Paris Salon, where he sometimes used the pseudonym Jacques Warner. At the end of the 1930s, he moved to the French Riviera where he remained until the end of his life. Fascinated by the light and warmth of the region, Lucien Potronat captured this in his paintings by depicting the local coastline with whitewashed villas covered in bougainvillea, near the characteristic blue of the Mediterranean under an azure sky. He also painted dancers in 1926, some of which were exhibited at the 1933 Winter Salon, as well as other works including La Coulée, hauts fourneaux and L'Isle-sur-Serein exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants in 1941.
