He spent time in Zakopane between 1914 and 1921, in 1921 he moved to live in Poznań, where he already had a settled position within the local artists, as during World War I he exhibited his paintings with the Society of Artists.[3] In 1925, he became a member of the Society of the Incentive for Fine Arts (Towarzystwo Zachęty Sztuk Pięknych) in Warsaw.
