In the course of his career, Robert painted first allegories , later landscapes and finally watercolors of birds and caterpillars.
Robert had created the wall paintings for the art museum in Neuchâtel . In the New Museum Biel (until 2011 Museum Neuhaus ) pictures of the 3000 works of the Robert Foundation are on display.
In Biel, the Paul-Robert-Weg is named after him.
