Miklos Németh was born in Budapest in 1934 and is regarded as one of the important modern painters in Hungary. Németh's style is characterized by his subjective and bold use of color, as well as by his impulsive and passionate brushwork. He clearly rejected the Socialist Realism and followed western stylistic movements, instead.

His paintings depict nature and urban landscapes, which often include working human beings or portraits of the female body. Németh was deeply inspired by the image of some 'cooling lava' and often described himself as the 'painter of the volcano'. Miklos Németh died in 2012....
