Vu Cao Dam’s prolific creative life spanned sculpture, painting, and printmaking. He began his career with sculpture, but he came to focus on oil painting in his later years. In the late 1940s, he moved to France’s Côte d’Azur. He lived with his family in Vence at the villa Les Heures Claires, located near the Matisse Chapel and Marc Chagall’s home. The landscapes and people of southern France gradually influenced his artistic style.

武高談一生創作頗豐，包羅雕塑、油畫、石版畫等。他從藝之初以創作雕塑為主，後期則專注於油畫創作。 武氏於1940年代末移居至法國蔚藍海岸，與家人居住在旺斯城一棟名為「明媚時光」別墅中。藝術家亨利．馬蒂斯設計的教堂和馬克．夏加爾的住所近在咫尺。南法風光和人文風情逐漸地影響到其創作風格。
