He was the artist for the Folies Berger, and the Lido and was fascinated with transforming sex appeal into a visual representation. He was a stylist for such famous brands as Dior, Balmain, Nina Ricci and Saint Laurent working for years at the height of the industry. His work is reminiscent of Vargas and other pin up experts and reminds us of Gruau and other 'affichistes' (poster designers) of the period. From 1944 onwards, he started a career as a poster artist and illustrator. However, with the rise of photography in the sixties, this activity shrank badly. Pierre-Laurent Brenot then moved backward to his original painter vocation. Pierre-Laurent Brenot died on 8 May 1998, in his estate in Loches.
