In 1926-30 he was a theater decorator. In 1927 he had his first exhibition in Bialystok, from 1928 he exhibited in Warsaw. In 1929 he received a 3-year scholarship to study in Paris, where from 1930 he attended the studio of Fernand Léger. He remained in Paris permanently, changing his citizenship to French. He contributed to the broad current of the international Ecole de Paris of the interwar period. He remained faithful to figuration with a tendency toward geometric stylization.
