In 1916 Imandt resigned from the colonial service; until his retirement in 1929, at the age of 47, he worked as headteacher and drawing instructor within Catholic education in the Dutch East Indies. Upon his return to Europe in 1929, the Bos art dealership organized a grand solo exhibition that lasted four months, in which many works were sold. Imandt then settled with his family in Sint-Gillis-Waas, a short distance from his birthplace in Belgium, where he occupied a large house with studio that he named Insulinde. He returned from the Dutch East Indies as a prosperous man, having grown into one of the best-known Western painters. In 1954, at the age of 72, Imandt received a retrospective exhibition in the Hoogooven halls.
