His paintings developed into a more abstract geometric language as he grew more attracted to Cubism and Pre-Columbian art. There have been several important retrospective exhibitions of Gerzso's work at the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes, Mexico City; Museo de Arte Moderno, Mexico City; University of Texas, Austin (1976); and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art (2004). He received a Guggenheim scholarship in 1973.
