Painter and graphic artist. He was a student of János Vaszary and Imre Révész at the Academy of Fine Arts, then taught art in the Boarding School of the Reformed Church in Debrecen from 1922 to 1945. From 1923 he made wood engravings. He engraved in wood a series entitled 'The Life of Jesus' in 1926, and visited Rome in 1930-31. The ex libris plates he made were published in book form in 1934. In 1936 he prepared a ten-plate series of woodcuts entitled 'Peasants'. In 1937-38 he painted a large-sized fresco series for the boarding school of Debrecen on Hungarian historical events. He revisited Rome in 1938, and held a comprehensive exhibition of his works there. He recorded his memories of Italy in his woodcut series entitled 'Visions of Italy' (Visioni d'Italia). He participated in the reorganisation of the Boarding School of Debrecen in 1945, then he organised the first exhibition of children's drawings in Budapest. He was appointed a teacher of the College of Fine Arts in the same year. In 1949 his woodcut series titled 'Tunnel Six' was published in an album, and in 1951 the wood engravings cycle 'Peace' was also published in the same form. A commemorative exhibition of his works was held in the Hungarian National Gallery in 1966. His art was slightly influenced by that of Aba Novák, and represented the same mentality as the movement of the so-called 'nationalist writers'.
