Discharged from the army in October 1918, László abandoned his law studies and attended the private art school of the Hungarian Fauve Róbert Berény. Other accounts, by contrast, say he completed a law degree.

László supported the Hungarian Soviet Republic, declared early in 1919, though he held no office in it. After its defeat in August he withdrew to Szeged, where an exhibition of his work was held, and around November 1919 he left for Vienna. Other accounts date his flight to Szeged to late 1919.
