In March 1919 he voluntarily joined the Red Army, but after a month he was transferred to the Proletarian Workshop for Fine Arts. In the autumn of 1920 he emigrated to Vienna, then to Moscow. In 1922 he travelled via Vienna to Berlin, then to Paris and Amsterdam. At the end of 1924 he returned home for a while, but went back to Berlin to escape the police. He worked for the agitation and propaganda department of the Communist Party of Germany when he changed his name to Alex Keil. He returned home as an official of the Red Army and played an active role in art-political propaganda between 1944 and 1956. In 1948 he was appointed director of the Academy of Applied Arts and in 1949 a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts.
