Before 1917 he participated in exhibitions of the “World of art” (“Mir Iskusstva”) group of artists and was active in the genre of satirical graphics. Later, after the Revolution he worked with historical-revolutionary subject matters and presented his paintings at all exhibitions of Association of Artists of Revolutionary Russia from the time of its establishment.
