Karoly Kernstok Biography
(b budapest, 23 dec 1873; d budapest, 10 june 1940). hungarian painter and decorative artist. in 1892 he was a pupil of simon hollósy in munich, then he spent three years studying at the académie julian in paris. returning to hungary in 1897 he painted the factory canteen: agitator (budapest, n.g.), a realist picture imbued with a socialist message. this was followed by more joyful scenes of peasant life often in bold and glowing colours (e.g. the harvesting scene plums ; 1901, budapest, n.g.). in 1905 he settled in nyergesújfalu, becoming the leading figure of a group of artists with radical bourgeois views. in 1906, however, he left for paris once more, where he was impressed by the style of the french fauves, especially the work of matisse. this is evident in kernstok’s richly coloured portrait of béla czóbel (1906; budapest, n.g.).
