Gyula Pap

Hungary (1899—1983)

Hungarian born Pap studied at the Bauhaus in Weimar under Itten and Moholy-Nagy. In 1924 he moved to Siebenbürgen, where he worked as a lithographer while experimenting with photography. In 1928 Itten invited him to teach at his new school in Berlin, a position Pap held for five years. After returning to Hungary, he focused on documenting rural life and later taught at the Academy of Arts in Budapest.
