After initial training in his native Hungary, where he became familiar with the practice of direct carving, Joseph Csaky arrived in Paris in 1908. He moved to La Ruche in the Montparnasse district, where he worked with sculptors including Archipenko. His first works bore a Rodinian imprint, but he quickly moved towards a cubist treatment, through contact with the Section d'Or, of which he was a member and with which he exhibited in 1912.
This cubist research led him a few years later to a sculpture with increasingly simplified and geometric forms, close to abstraction. In 1928, considering that he had come to the end of his Cubist experience, Csaky returned to figurative art.
