Tálos, Gyula Budapest, 1887 - 1975, Budapest
He finished his studies as interior designer at the Budapest School of Design in 1907 and went on a study tour abroad for several years (Vienna, Munich, Berlin, Brussels and Paris). In 1911-1913 he worked in the design office of Béla Lajta and Béla Málnai, then joined the periodical Interieur sharing a spiritual community with the Wiener Werkstätte to design title pages and headings. His marvellous imagination was unbridled in the area of architectural and artistic drawing, inspired by various sources of Art Nouveau: Bakst's costumes, Klinger's fashion designs, Beardsley's drawing and the figural wall-papers of Viennese Sezession. He was also inspired by contemporary Hungarian and Russian fairy-tale illustrations. All this added up to his naive and dreamlike figural compositions richly interlaced with floral ornamentation. His bagatelles in applied arts, just as his "self-contained" paintings, were buried in oblivion as anonymity prevailed in his entire career.
