Pál, István Kolozsvár, 1888 - 1944, Auschwitz
He studied for a short time under Károly Ferenczy at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts and then attended Simon Hollósy's school in Munich. He presumably spent some time in Paris during his student years. He painted in Nagybánya in 1909, and showed his works completed here at an exhibition at the Budapest Artist's House the following winter. He worked in the Keckemét colony in 1910 and he organised an artist colony on the Svábhegy with Géza Bornemissza in 1919. He took part in establishing the journal Periscope in Arad, which adhered to avant-garde principles. In 1929 he was confined to the mental institution of Angyalföld and later of Lipótmezo. The Psychiatric Museum of the institution has many of his works in its keeping.
