In 1924, Thall traveled to Paris to study at the Ecole des Beaux Arts and the Academie Julien, where he met Henri Matisse, Ernest Hemingway, and F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Thall returned to the United States during the Great Depression and made friends with Willem and Elaine de Kooning and Arshile Gorky. In the late 1940s, he taught at the Arts Student League and was represented by the Whitney Museum in 1949 and 1950. His paintings are in numerous private collections in the United States and Europe.
