He is considered a master of the Art Deco poster, incorporating cubist and surrealist influences into his own, distinct style. In 1930, he founded École Paul Colin, a poster and graphic design school where Colin taught for 40 years. He worked closely with Josephine Baker and designed posters for Parisian theaters such the Folies Bergère, the Moulin Rogue, and the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées.
