KANDÓ, Gyula
(1908, Savona - 1968, Szentendre)



Painter. From 1928 to 1931 he pursued studies in the studio of Sándor Bortnyik as a poster designer. His commitment to modern art gained strength during his longer visits to Paris in the 1930s, 40s and then in the 60s. He was on friendly terms with the artists of the European School, including Endre Bálint. He lived in Szentendre with some interruptions from 1950. His early works of art that nevertheless are characterised by maturity - mainly his still-lifes - show the influence of that trend in cubism which is represented mainly by the late works of Braque. In the last artistic period of his life, dated from the end of the 1950s, he made paintings that combined letters, signs, geometric and organic forms and often had a gently elaborated fattura influenced by the experience of the abstract and non-figurative, as marked by the surrealists. Many pieces of his legacy are kept in the Ferenczy Museum of Szentendre.
