In 1926 she pulled to Amsterdam, where her painting underwent influence of the film. Frontally depicted figures stand isolated from each other, as if they were lit by lamps on a film set. Her still lifes show kinship with the synthetic Cubism of Juan Gris. From the 30 's also painted them many female figures, nudes and self-portraits in a powerful, realistic style. Known is her large painting three generations (1950), a portrait of herself, (a portrait bust of) her father and her son Edgar, in which she unites Vera and sense of symbolism.

Her ruthless realism has something magical: "Is the natural appearance reality," she asked already in 1917, "or to its shape only to grope the most unreal that appears to us? This unreal, what is most actual is. "

Charley Toorop was a friend of other artists such as Bart van der Leck and Piet Mondriaan. Important work of her can be seen in the Kröller-Müller Museum Otterlo to.

Designed and built by her in her command the House "De Vlerken" at the Buerweg 19 in Bergen (North Holland) still stands, albeit, after a fire, with roof tiles instead of with a thatched roof.
