From 1916 he lived in Budapest, where he learned painting and printmaking at the Art School of Karoly Kernstock. He met up with left-wing Hungarian immigrants in Vienna, where he joined the Austrian Communist Party, and witnessed the political upheavals of 1928-29, in the wake of the clashes between fascists and socialists subsequent to the April 1927 National Election. Derkovit's most important graphic series, '1514', inspired by the Dozsa peasant revolt, was completed during this period and published posthumously by the Circle of Friends of the Visual Art in 1945.
