He travelled extensively, particularly in France and was an early admirer of Matisse, who greatly influenced his work. Wolfe becoming known as "The English Matisse". In the early 1930s he designed sets for C B Cochran. He exhibited in Britain and abroad throughout his career both mixed and one-man exhibitions and was elected R.A. in 1972.
