In 1933 he joined the French Communist Party while he was already a member of Association des écrivains et artistes révolutionnaires, where he met painters such as Jean Hélion, Auguste Herbin, André Marchand, Maurice Estève and Vieira da Silva as well as writers such as Louis Aragon. In 1935, Pignon was able to devote himself more to painting. From 1936 until the war, he was editor of the weekly Regards. His first solo exhibition was held in 1939 in Paris. After the German invasion of France, Pignon was mobilized in to the army. He returned to Paris in 1940 and immediately became a member of the Resistance. His house becomes a place of meeting for artists and resistance members such as Aragon and Elsa Triolet who stayed there for some period. Alongside artists like Jean Bazaine, Esteve, Le Moal and Alfred Manessier, Pignon was one of "Twenty painters of French tradition", who exhibits in Paris at the Braun Galery in 1941 in order to resist the Nazi theory of "degenerate art". With Édouard Goerg and André Fougeron, in 1943 he clandestinely founded the Front National des Arts, a branch of the National Front. After the war, he collaborated with Jean Vilar and designed the first Avignon festivals. Pignon also came in to conflict with Communist Party for not complying with socialist realism and continued to create figurative artistic works. In 1947 he married the French communist critic Hélène Parmelin. In 1951, at the invitation of his friend Pablo Picasso, Pignon went to the Fournas workshop in Vallauris. In 1956, after the Soviet invasion of Hungary, he was one of ten intellectuals of the PCF alongside who wrote a letter to the party leadership expressing their dismay and condemning the suppression of the Hungarian uprising. In 1960, he was one of the signatories of the Manifesto of the 121.
