JASCHIK, Álmos
(1885, Bártfa - 1950, Budapest)



He pursued his studies in the School of Design and the Art Teacher Training School. His main field of activity was drawing illustrations for literary works, but he made stage designs also. From 1935 he worked as the stage designer of the National Theatre. His independent graphic artworks and his early illustrations reflect the decorative drawing style, the line-cult and ornamentalism of the Art Nouveau.

The world of fantasy, fiction or even 'horror' gained greater significance in his later works. The interesting point in his works of art is the naturalistic drawing rich in detail, the fantastic 'story' and the wallowing in scrupulous, minute patterns. Thus his drawings are surrealistic and insinuative at the same time.

He played a leading role in developing ornament-based art teaching. He ran his own private school of modern spirit after 1920.
