Sándor Bortnyik (July 3, 1893 – December 31, 1976) was a Hungarian painter and graphic designer. His work was greatly influenced by Cubism, Expressionism and Constructivism. Born in Târgu Mureș, Transylvania. Mainly autodidact Bortnyik met Kassak in 1917 and became a member of the avant-garde newspaper Ma (Today) first in Hungary and later Vienna. It was during this period that this image was first created. He developed his own style called 'picture architecture' - considered the Hungarian answer to Constructivism. He moved to Weimar in 1922 and was connected to the Bauhaus. When he moved back to Hungary he founded an art school (Workshop) in Budapest, where he followed Bauhaus principles. Bortnyik is well known for his commercial posters. During his long career he worked for many Hungarian and international clients. The most famous works are the advertising images for Modiano cigarette papers. He was also the director of Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts (1949–1956).
