NORTH STAR FINE ART

From AskArt "Hugo Scheiber was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1873.  Scheiber worked as a sign painter.  From 1898 to 1900, he attended the School of Applied Arts in Budapest.  His early works are based on Impressionism.

In the 1920's, he went to Berlin and came to terms with Futurism and Expressionism. Thematically, he dealt mainly with portraits, life in the big city, and the world of cabaret.

His works were shown at the Galerie Der Sturm, and published in the same named journal. In 1926, his paintings were shown in the exhibition ‘Société Anonyme’ in New York.  In the 1930's, he oriented his work increasingly towards Art Deco.

Hugo Scheiber returned to Budapest in 1939, where he died in 1950.  Scheiber's work is represented in numerous exhibitions of Hungarian avant-garde and renowned collections.  These include the Hungarian National Gallery, and the Janus Pannonius Muzeum in Pecs."
