His work of the 1930s display quintessentialy expressionist elements - somber colors and tortous forms - in the spirit of the Jewish school of Paris. During and following World War II Abramovic stayed in Iran, and his experience of that country is reflected in the hinted Persian elements he incorporated into his art. In the 1940s he painted geometrically structured cityscapes tending to the abstract.
