 On his return from Paris, the formal cubist influence of Lhote in Geissler's work softened and was transformed by his own observation of the geometry of the natural world.He exhibited for several years with colleagues as a member of "The 1922 Group", an association of ECA graduates who had been awarded travelling scholarships, and whose annual exhibitions were shown at the New Gallery, Shandwick Place, Edinburgh.Exhibitions included work by Geissler, Gillies, William MacTaggart (the Younger), John Maxwell and Crozier.
