Having returned from his travels in 1919 he established himself in Ostende, first as General Secretary of the Casino and subsequently as Director of Les Palaces d’Ostende. Through his involvement in the cultural scene of Ostende, Van Der Putte accumulated numerous works by contemporary artists such as Leon Spilliaert, Constant Permeke and James Ensor.
