Description from the seller
Miklós Németh (Budapest 1934–2012): Portrait
-----
Mixed media technique (watercolor, chalk, and markers) on paper
Signed lower right
Undated (circa 1980)
Image size: 35 x 30 cm
-----
Austrian private collection, Salzburg.
-----
Miklós Németh studied from 1950 to 1954 at the independent Art School of Ödön Márffy and was influenced by notable artists such as István Varga Ilosvai, Emil Gádor, and Menyhért Tóth.
Between 1990 and 1998 he served as Secretary General of the Budapest Artists’ Group ("Buda Artists’ Group").
-----
His works are now traded internationally; in particular in the German-speaking world demand has risen sharply in recent years. Auction prices average around EUR 900.00, with an upward trend, and record surcharges of up to EUR 10,000.00 for especially large or significant works.
-----
Németh clearly rejected the regime-loyal Socialist Realism and instead aligned himself with Western art currents such as German Expressionism and Fauvism. His painting is characterized by an intense color structure, impulsive brushwork, and a mosaic-like composition, often with clear contours and color fields. He described himself as the "Painter of the Volcano"—inspired by the dynamics and texture of cooling lava.
-----
The artist had solo and group exhibitions, e.g., at the Műcsarnok Gallery Budapest in 1981 and at the Ernst Museum in 2000. Participation in the National Watercolor Biennales. Awards include: Prize at the 100-year anniversary of the Pest–Buda Association, István Ilosvai Varga Prize 1996, and an honor by the city of Szentendre through the Ferenczy Museum there for collection exhibitions. His works are in numerous public collections, such as the Austrian Belvedere Gallery.
-----
Miklós Németh was significant for Hungarian modernism, with a strongly personal, expressive style. His art created powerfully emotional spaces, inspired by color, form and inner dynamics – entirely without an implicit social or political agenda.
-----
The original work offered here is a unique piece in very good condition (see illustrations).
-----
The work is not framed.
-----
Shipping is done as an insured package in professional, transit-safe packaging.
