About the Item

Kalman Istokovits (1898-1990) Hungarian Artist Painter, graphic artist. In 1918 he decided to go to America but changed his mind and returned from Milan. He began learning in a school free of charge. As a pupil of István Zádor, he learnt copper engraving. In 1921 István Csók and Gyula Rudnay recognized his talent in the art school in Pécs and became his teachers in the Art School in Budapest. In 1925 he took up fresco painting at Andor Dudits. On a state scholarship he spent the years 1929 and 1930 in the Collegium Hungaricum in Rome. On his return he worked mostly in the art school in Szolnok (1931-44). "Toldy's Evening" by János Arany and "Byzantium" by Ferenc Herczeg were published in French with his illustrations in Paris in 1937 and 1938 respectively. His copper engravings were influenced by biblical themes ("Entry to Jerusalem", "Ecce Homo", "Christ Heals a Patient", "Resurrection of Lazarus", "Crucifixion" and "Descent from the Cross"). His paintings show the Hungarian landscape in delicate colours ("Bridge in Révfalu", "The Mining District of Komló", "Shocks of Sheaves", "Jánoskút", "Village in Somogy" and “Storm"). “Peasants Dancing”, c. 1960s Oil on canvas, signed lower right. 19”h x 24”w, overall size is 28”x 32”
