His artistic output was profoundly impacted by the political upheavals of the era; his studio in Paris was raided by the Gestapo in 1943, resulting in the destruction of much of his work created since 1926. Despite these losses, he continued to work in various locations, including Luxembourg, Paris, and Switzerland, eventually becoming a Swiss citizen in 1968.
