Openly homosexual, Boullet proclaimed himself a "painter of male beauty", he produced drawings or paintings of a homoerotic aesthetic somewhat inspired by that of Jean Cocteau. Boullet associated with Le Tout-Paris, which is a French expression referring to the stylish and affluent elite of Paris, who frequent fashionable events and places, and establish trends in upper-class culture. It is equivalent to high society or the jet set elsewhere.
