FORBÁT, Alfréd
(1897, Pécs - 1972, Vällingby)



Architect and painter. He worked together with Walter Gropius between 1920-22. He planned blocks of flats in Pécs from 1933 to 1938. His buildings which fitted into the landscape were marked by functionalism. He settled down in Sweden in 1938 where he was engaged in city-planning. His early paintings reflected the influence of Bauhaus and the pictures from his later period that of Neue Sachlichkeit. Some of his works are in the collection of the Hungarian National Gallery and that of the Janus Pannonius Museum, Pécs.
