Biography
Biography
He received a state scholarship in Rome in 1934–35 and he exhibited several times in Italy. His early sculptures were characterized by the neoclassicist style of the Roman School. His sculptures "St Gellért" and "Frater Julianus" were erected at the Fishermen's Bastion in Budapest in 1937, and at the Coronation of St Stephen in Esztergom in 1938. After 1945, he created several memorials. In 1962, he made the sculptural decoration on the facade of the Cathedral of Pécs.
