Upon completion of his studies, Krafft chose to make his home in the Chicago area, settling in Oak Park prior to World War I. He became a major artist in the region exhibiting frequently at the Art Institute, the St. Louis Museum, the John Herron Museum of Art in Indianapolis, and other regional institutions.
