In the 1950s, Fuchs lived mainly in Paris. He got to know various artists such as Salvador Dalí and Arno Breker. Themes that often returned in his paintings were religion and sex. Fuchs did not only work as a painter. He also conducted opera performances by Richard Wagner and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Together with Robin Page he presented a drawing program on the WRD.
