Painter. He was a pupil of Manó Ventróczy at the school of Industrial Design School, István Bosznay and Tivadar Zemplényi at the Art School, Budapest. He did not accept his masters' naturalist and academic styles. The debate became so harsh that that he was forced to leave the Art School. He travelled to Nagybánya and later to Paris in 1913. As a result of an injury during World War I, his left arm became paralized. His works attracted more and more attention, yet he lived in poverty in spite of his success. After the fall of the Hungarian Soviet Republic, he was first arrested, then he emigrated to Berlin. Invited by Eström, a Swedish sponsor, he travelled to Sweden, but he suffered a major break-down. At first, he occasionally painted in the lunatic asylum, but later he was taken to the neuratic ward in Sátoraljaújhely where he died. It was Nemes Lampérth who represented expressive monumentality with Béla Uitz in the pre-war years. His contructivism was akin to that of Cézanne and the styles of German painters. His drawings in charcoal and his canvases (e.g. "Female Nude") simplify forms in a synthetic way.
