[M 1& |
(Győr, 30. november 1902. - Budapest, 4. június 1977.)
Studied with
Álmos Jaschik in Budapest in1924.-26, and with Herta Bucher in Vienna in
1926-28. Vienna's art deco had a decisive influence on her art. Followed studies
with Karl Killer and Adalbert Niemeyer in Munich's Staatschule in Copenhagen.
Worked at the Severs Factory in 1933-34 in France. She moved to Budapest in 1929
and set up her own workshop. Clearly the most popular ceramist in Hungary, her
work drew its authenticity from a combination of a fairy world rooted in the
late art deco style, a stylised naive formal stock with singular humour and a
prolific imagination. The frequently hidden figurative messages of her works
always brought her great esteem.
