Biography
Pál Patzay was born in 1896 in Kapuvar. Between 1912 and 1914 he studied at the College of Fine Arts in Budapest where Béla Radnai was his teacher. He was being expelled from the collage so Patzay learnt the arts in autodidactic way. He met with Lajos Kassák, and joined his art colony in 1915. His first exhibition in the "Ma" exhibition room was in 1917 where next to Ede Bohacsek works Patzay’s eight statues was shown. During the world war he kept refugees in his studio in Kőbánya, and he got the Righteous award for this act. He became the member of the Artist Council in 1945. He got the Kossuth award in 1950, and the outstanding award in 1952, and he got the Kossuth-award secondly in 1965.
He was one of the most consistent representative of the Roman School. His neoclassical works show harmony and Baroque momentums. His indisputable plastic talent and knowledge, and his amazing scholarship, made him an unquestional figure of the hungarian artistic profession.
