His behaviour was erratic (he threw coffee Josef Hirsal’s shirt). The government forced him to emigrate and he was not allowed to return home so from 1980 he lived in Paris, later returning after the fall of the USSR. His first exhibition in 1937 focused on collages, later works specifically focused on his method of using scapel to cut pictures from magazines and reconfigure them in Surrealist forms.
