After the initial plein air experiments, he gained more serious results in portrait painting since he came to the authentic psychological characterization of the painters. In addition to his more elaborate landscape and figurative compositions, he also produced large-scale social sensitivities and representative historical compositions. His wife, Irma Vujovich, painter, represented the continuity of the Kecskemét Colony of Artists after the Second World War. Among other things, he made the altar of the Temple of Friends, which depicts the bishop of St. Nicholas in a decorative twisted frame. Prohászka P. Halász painted his work in 1933 based on the idea of ​​Jeromos. Saint Nicholas points to the sky with one hand and the other to the gospel of an angel. There are two balls and bread in the book indicating that St. Nicholas helps the bride and the poor. "The enormous composition is equally worthy of the temple, the altar, the theme and the creative artist. Incorporating religious and artistic beliefs, a wonderful artistic creed, is an ideal one. We awaited a light, uplifting, awe-inspiring, great work from József Prohászka. The artist has fully rewarded the hope he has given, his whole heart, his soul, his sacred faith in his profession, "said the Kecskeméti Bulletin on September 11, the creator of the high altar.
