Béni Ferenczy, a sculptor and graphic artist, was the son of Károly Ferenczy. He studied art in Munich and Paris. His art became mature after he had returned from emigration in Germany and the Soviet Union. After his experiences with cubism first and with expressionism later, his art evolved in sculptures with emphasized forms. His illustrations, black and white, or coloured, made him one of the best Hungarian graphic artists. He illustrated a lot of books, too.
