He was a member of the Fauvist movement and exhibited with them in 1905. Marquet's work often depicted landscapes, seascapes, and cityscapes, and he was particularly drawn to the Mediterranean coast. He traveled extensively throughout his life, visiting countries such as Algeria, Tunisia, and Italy, and his travels inspired many of his paintings.
