In 1913 he integrated the famous exhibition Armory Show in New York and exhibited as well Galeria Der Sturm in Berlin. With the eruption of the first world war he returned to Portugal. Between 1915 and 1916 he became friend with the Sonia and Robert Delaunay who came to live in Portugal, and by then he got near the group of the Orfeo and of Almada Negreiros. During this period he exhibited in Lisbon and Oporto.
