biography of Artur Lajos Halmi

The Hungarian society painter Artur Halmi is best known for his nightlife scenes and portraits of fashionable women. He also painted genre scenes and designed posters in the Art Nouveau style. Halmi started his art education at the Musterzeichenschule in Budapest. He then studied at the academy in Vienna and Munich, and went to Paris in 1891 on a scholarship. In the years 1894-99 he worked as an illustrator for the Munich magazine 'Jugend'. He then lived in Berlin until 1908, where he was a much sought-after portraitist. In 1910 he crossed the Atlantic and lived in New York for ten years. He then returned to Budapest, where he regularly exhibited his work.
