Tristan Bernard who takes him in friendship prefaces the catalog of his first private exhibition: "Thank you Jean Paul Brusset for having made me travel so pleasantly, without the fear of dust in the eye or sunburns.

    In 1937, Brusset, who took part in the Universal Exhibition, decorated the "La Femme" and "Vins de France" pavilions. The art printer Daniel Jacomet publishes a selection of between a thousand of his drawings in an album prefaced by the President of the Republic Albert Lebrun.
