 After moving to Rockport, Kautzky and his wife traveled each year in late fall or early winter for a few weeks to northern New England, especially Vermont, where they would meet friends and he would paint the autumn landscapes.After this trip, they would return to their Yonkers dwelling from which he commuted every day to his studio in Manhattan to work on his commercial projects.Each year, Kautzky wanted to make enough money during his time in Yonkers to cover his expenses for the rest of the year and provide an additional sum for his family back in Hungary.
