SASSY, Attila
(1880, Budapest - 1967, Budapest)
He studied in Budapest, Munich and Paris. Especially his Art Nouveau graphics and his series of erotic 'Opiate Dreams' of graceful sketching method published under the artist name of 'Aiglon' attracted great attention. He also painted compositions of biblical themes; these convey a decorative impression despite the sculpturesque representation. At the same time Art Nouveau inspiration led him to the depictive style of the Art Deco movement, which proved to be a rare phenomenon in contemporary art in Hungary.
