He moved to Paris and opened up his studio at 6 rue Huyghens in Montparnasse where a range of events was held at including concerts by the group known as Les Six, exhibitions, including an exhibition of African art organized by Paul Guillaume, and poetry readings, particularly by Apollinaire and Cocteau.
