In 1912 Kandinsky invited him to join him in Munich and join the Der Blaue Reiter group. He visited and exhibited in Zurich and in Berlin. In 1915 he moved back to Zurich to benefit from the Swiss neutrality. He became part of the Dadaist group and artists around the Cabaret Voltaire, and he later set up the Cologne Dada group with Max Ernst and Alfred Grunwald.
