Lajos Tihanyi 1885-1938 one of the most important Hungarian modernist painters was a deaf mute from a childhood illness. Despite his handicap and largely self-taught he was recognized quite early on as a formidable talent and played an important role in the modernist Nagybánya Nyolcák and avant-garde Aktivizmus movements up to his departure from Hungary in 1919. Living in Paris from 1922 he developed into nonobjective abstraction and was part of the Abstraction-creation group. At the same time he continued executing expressionist portraits of a wide international circle of friends and associates. These included Gyula Halász Brassai Ivan Goll George Antheil Hungarian émigrés and surrealist poet Robert Desnos who authored this book. Desnos gave the valedictory at Tihanyi's funeral accompanied by Count Mihály Károlyi. This copy is warmly inscribed by Tihanyi to the Swiss painter Hans Schiess and the self portrait lithograph is also included with his personal dedication.
