Biography

Miklos Nemeth (1934–2012) was a Hungarian painter who played a significant role in the Hungarian Modernist movement.

Born in Budapest, he studied at the painting school of Ödön Márffy from 1950 to 1954 under the guidance of István Varga Ilosvai, Emil Gádor, and Menyhért Tóth. Deeply influenced by German Expressionism, Németh’s work is notable for its gestural and organic style, shifting between representational and abstract depictions of landscapes, nudes, and portraits. Rejecting Socialist Realism, he instead drew inspiration from nature—particularly the tactile quality of cooling lava—earning him the moniker “Painter of the Volcano.” He served as Secretary General of the Buda Artists’ Group from 1990 to 1998, exhibited widely in both solo and group shows (including a 1981 solo exhibition at the Art Gallery), and regularly participated in the National Watercolor Biennale. Among his accolades are first prize in the competition commemorating the 100th anniversary of the unification of Pest and Buda, and the Ilosvai Varga István Prize (1996). His works are represented in public collections, including the Károly Ferenczy Museum in Szentendre.
