Following World War II, Bodo struggled to escape communist controlled Hungary, making three separate escape attempts. Eventually, he was able to board a ship for New York, although he almost died during the crossing after falling overboard in the middle of a storm. His work is characterized by impasto technique depicting colorful impressionistic scenes and landscapes and is held in many private collections.
