Painter. From 1921 to 1928 he was a pupil at the Budapest Academy of Fine Arts. His master was István Réti. In the meantime, between 1922 and 1923 he would visit the Heymann School in Munich; in the summer of 1924 he worked on the Nagybánya (Baia-Mare, Romania) colony of artists. His painting is expressive in its tone testifying to intense inner experiences and a unique form of perception. The majority of his pictures affect the spectator through their visionary power. The events and travels of his childhood and youth, the great extent of his education as well as the vicissitudes and joys of his fate provided a multifarious selection of intellectual themes to his art. Some of his most important individual exhibitions are: Budapest: Ernst Museum, 1931; Alkotás Művészház, 1944; The Budapest Museum of Modern Art, 1958, 1968; Fényes Adolf Hall, 1967, 1972; Hatvan: 1975. Besides his paintings, his literary works are also significant. His novel entitled 'A magányból' (Out of Loneliness) was made into a film directed by Márta Kende (1979).
