Vilmos Huszár

Hungary (1884—1960)

With a background in Applied Arts in Budapest, Huszár travelled through Munich, Paris and London before settling in the Netherlands, where he worked as an interior and graphic designer while continuing to paint. Together with van Doesburg, Mondrian, van der Leck, Oud and other artists, he was one of the founders of De Stijl. He applied its principles in several furniture and textile projects and designed various covers for the De Stijl journal. After 1923 he distanced himself from the movement and returned to figurative painting.
