Painter and architect. Although he had obtained a degree in architecture, he also learnt painting from Hollósy in Munich as early as 1888. His first exhibited picture was a still-life (1889). Although he obtained a head position at the Department of Architect-instructor Training in Holzminden in 1893, he took up his residence for good in Budapest in 1895 after a series of study trips abroad. Initially he displayed naturalistic and later conversation theme landscapes. For his work 'September Afternoon' (1911) he received the Ráth Prize; his picture entitled 'Porch' (1901) ended up in the Museum of Veszprém; 'Lussingrande' (1905) found its way to the Museum of Fine Arts; 'Path on the Shore' (1910) and 'Dutch Houses' (1906) are possessed by the state. Today several of his works are owned by the Hungarian National Gallery. His collected idealistic building designs entitled Architektonische Skizzen und Studien were published by Schroll in Vienna. His best-known building in Budapest is the atelier-tenement house in Kelenhegyi út.
