He exhibited regularly in various Parisian and Bordeaux salons (Société nationale des beaux-arts, galerie contemporaine, Salons de l'université, Salon des indépendants bordelais, la société bordelaise de l'Atelier, etc.) until 1943. He won the Valérie-Havard prize and a silver medal at the 1925 Paris Salon, where he exhibited until 1930. The artist's works can be found in several museums across the country. The great turning point in Jean Aufort's life was his meeting with François Mauriac, who was totally taken by his painting. They became firm friends. They worked together on several occasions, Mauriac prefacing exhibitions and Aufort illustrating Mauriac's novels.
