About Bertalan Por

  • Biography

    Bertalan Pór (1880–1964) was a Hungarian painter associated with the development of modernist Hungarian art. He was a member of The Eight, Budapest*, a movement among several Hungarian painters in the early twentieth century who represented the radical edge in Budapest. They introduced Fauvism*, Cubism*, and Expressionism to Hungarian art.

    Born in Budapest in 1880 to a Hungarian Jewish family, Pór started drawing as a child. He was a student of László Gyulay in the School of Industrial Design in Budapest. Because the city had no art academy, many aspiring artists went to Munich, Bavaria to study, beginning in the second half of the nineteenth century. Pór was among them, studying with the German artist Gabriel von Hackl.
