SZULY, Angéla
(1893, Budapest - 1975, Budapest)



Painter. She attended the Academy of Fine Arts for a short time as a student of Oszkár Glatz from 1916 to 1924, then that of István Réti. She visited the colony of artists in Pécs led by István Csók during the summers from 1922 to 1924. As this colony ceased, she worked in the colony of Nagybánya (Baia Mare, Romania) in 1925 and then in that of Miskolc, and from 1930 on she spent more and more time working in Szentendre. Still a college student, she won the junior prize of the Szinyei Society, and her works of art were displayed in the exhibition of Szinyei-awardees together with those of Vilmos Aba-Novák, Jenő Paizs Goebel and Jenő Barcsay among others. Upon her graduation from the Academy of Arts she received an award from the city of Pécs, and then the Helikon Prize for her painting displayed in a group exhibition in the Ernst Museum. Her first one-artist comprehensive exhibition was held in the National Salon in 1927. In the same place she exhibited a larger collection of her works in the exhibition of the New Group of Women Artists in 1931. She toured Germany and Italy and spent some more time in Paris. Her early pictures from Szentendre characterised by vigorous expression and distantly resembling the form of expression of the group of the Eight (Nyolcak) and the Activists (Aktivisták) were later accompanied by plein air landscapes and figural compositions of dark green tone representing the postimpressionist style.
