From 1930 he exhibited with the Warsaw School, which he was a co-founder. The works of the members of this group were characterized by a reference to the late French Impressionism, bright, with overexposed colors, drawing themes from modern life, often captured in a narrative and storytelling way, often full of humor and satire. He also took part in IPS Salons, exhibitions of the ZAP Block and in many shows of Polish art abroad, winning awards and distinctions (including purchases of his works for foreign museums). Arct became popular with the series Steam locomotives. He also painted still lifes, and most of all colorful, rozedrgane, landscapes close to impressionism (mainly from Kazimierz Dolny and Szczawnica) and city landscapes, the subject of which was often Warsaw – the main theme of his post-war work.
