From 1911 Joltkevich regularly presented his works at Salons. 1917 Joltkevich left all his works in his Paris studio and returned to Russia, but there he was involved mainly in activity of Commission for Control of Exportation of artistic values abroad (he was a head of Commission) and could hardly find time for creative work.
