Varga left Hungary for Paris in 1926 seeking artistic and cultural freedom of expression and became part of the movement known as the "Ecole de Paris" / School of Paris. In 1933 he showed at Galerie Bonaparte in Paris and travelled to Spain in support of the Spanish Resistance.

During this time he collaborated with Jean Cocteau on a book of poetry and other volumes (see photo below). After the war he had a large number of group and one man shows in France and abroad (Musee Picasso, Galerie C. Allendy etc.) He died in 1989 in Germany.
