Unable to return to Russia because of his White army service, Arnautoff spent 1921-1925 in northeastern China. He lived hand-to-mouth while studying at the Lotus Art School in Harbin, then took a job with the cavalry of Zhang Zoulin, the local warlord, in Mukden. He met and married Lydia Blonsky, daughter of another White army refugee.
