RUBLETZKY, Géza
(1881, Budapest - 1970, Budapest)



Sculptor. First, he worked in the workshop of Mór Unger, then in the china factory of Főleg and attended an evening course at the School of Industrial Design. He was a pupil of Lajos Mátrai at the School of Industrial Design between 1899-1903. He worked under József Róna for a year, then spent six months in Italy. On his return to Hungary, he was a workshop assistant of Miklós Ligeti and Barnabás Holló.

His first major commission was to create the ornamental sculpture of the bank in Hódmezővásárhely where he lived from 1908 to 1914. He contributed to the revival of local art and was one of the founders of the Majolioca and Clay Art School. In the following year he moved to Arad, then to Temesvár and finally to Bucharest. He returned to Hungary in 1942.

His statues show delicate modelling and contours ("Dózsa" - destroyed - 1907, "Motherhood" 1909, "Mother Breastfeeding her Child" 1909, "Mother with Child" 1910). Portraits ("Boy Head" 1934, "Female Portrait" 1934, "Károly Lyka", "Árpád Szakasits" and "Zseni Várnai") and genre works ("Carrying Coffee" 1936, "Harvesting" I-II 1941, and "Idyll at Harvest" 1941) played an important part in his art.
