Kmetty's art became lighter and more informal between the two wars. The weight of the structure is evident in the composition, yet his forms became airier because his colours became lighter. Recurrent motifs of his still-lives are a pedestalled bowl with some fruit and a long-necked jug on a table. Light, almost faded colours and cubistic forms breaking objects into geometric elements characterize his "Still-Life" from the 1930s. The view from above recalls Cézanne's composition style, while geometric forms breaking mass into fragments, and the simultaneous use of views from the side and from above of the same object (the bowl and the long-necked jug) prove Braque's influence.
