During the 1960s and 1970s, he organized a group of artists and intellectuals who called themselves "The Third Eye," a
commune dedicated to the ideas of
Timothy Leary. He claimed to be strongly influenced by
Friedrich Nietzsche and the
Marquis de Sade. At
Avoth Yeshurun's suggestion, he turned his last name into a phonetic rendering of quatre mortes,
French for "four deaths."
His apartment on
Dizengoff Street in
Tel Aviv, where his only film was shot, was a hub of city life during that time.
He married translator, model, and, editor Helit Yeshurun, daughter of poet Avoth Yeshurun, while working on his avant-garde 1969 film A Woman's Case. He met Ann Tochmeyer during that period. She was a model who appeared on the covers of magazines such as HaOlam HaZeh. She appeared in his film and he married her after his divorce from Yeshurun.[16] The film was a commercial failure, and, hindered his ability to pursue his career as a filmmaker. Other works included creating television programs showcasing the works of artists such as
Moshe Gershuni,
Yosl Bergner (1971),
Yaacov Agam (1973), and,
Michail Grobman (1974).[17]
