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).

'Traces', Contemporary Mixed Media Abstract. Tendrils of Blue on Gold.
Located in Cotignac, FR
Contemporary mixed media, acrylic and tissue paper on canvas by French artist, Georges Fernandes. Monogram signed to the bottom right and signed and dated 2000 to the reverse. Presented in plain wood frame with gold filet. A bold and colourful abstract in blue and gold. Tendrils of blue radiate from a central sphere and work their way across the rich gold textured background. The colour combination gives a richness to the painting, the gold background emphasising the near Yves Klein blue of the tendrils. This collage fits perfectly into the abstract genre with its focus on its formal qualities over and above its subject matter. Furthermore the artist experiments with vivid yet arbitrary colours, reconstructing shapes and rejecting three dimensional perspective. A fine example of non objective art...
