Almosz Jaszczyk – Narodziny Baju
Álmos Jaschik pursued his studies in the School of Design and the Art Teacher Training School. He obtained a teacher’s diploma in 1907.
He took a study tour through France, Belgium, Germany and Holland in 1908.
He became a teacher at the Budapest Industrial Drawing School in 1906, and head of the book-binding and decorative leather-work department but had to leave the institution in 1920.
Drzewo Rożane – Pamięć Miłości
His main field of activity was drawing illustrations for literary works, but he made stage designs also.
Bogunowie – Duchy Wcielone Różnych Poziomów
From 1935 he worked as the stage designer of the National Theatre.
His independent graphic artworks and his early illustrations reflect the decorative drawing style, the line-cult and ornamentalism of the Art Nouveau.
The world of fantasy, fiction or even ‚horror’ gained greater significance in his later works.
The interesting point in his works of art is the naturalistic drawing rich in detail, the fantastic ‚story’ and the wallowing in scrupulous, minute patterns.
Thus his drawings are surrealistic and insinuative at the same time.
He played a leading role in developing ornament-based art teaching. Bóg Sporu – Jądra, Jadła, Dostatku i Powodzenia (Indra)
He worked out his theory about the spiritual origins of the ornament during his years of teaching, and also published his thoughts on the problems of pedagogy.
Anioł nad miastem (Skrzydlata Pani Nieba i Ziemi z dzieciątkiem)
He introduced the use of projection in stage-sets in Hungary, which found emphatic presence in the schools of stage design and modelling as well.
As a graphic artist he was primarily an illustrator.
He was a member of the Hungarian Society of Book and Advertisement Artists and also worked in animated film productions between 1942 and 1944.
He ran his own private school of modern spirit after 1920.
