His work with lino-cuts was revolutionary and his graphics were used to illustrate the literary works of Ezra Pound, Eugene O'Neill, Upton Sinclair and Theodore Dreiser. He is represented in the British Museum, The Tate and the Museum of Modern Art in New York as well as in most major Australian public collections
