His style, semi-figurative, returned to pure figuration with the Second World War - he then enlisted in France before moving to England - which then inspired him to paint made up of tortured characters and scenes of terror. Françoise de Perthuis states that it was after the war that Geza Szobel “returned to the great geometric rhythms and exhibited in Paris and in several foreign capitals.
