Still Life
Born in Budapest in 1867. Studied in Budapest, Munich, and at Julien's in Paris. Since 1893 he has been working in Budapest and since 1896 has been a member of the Nagybanya artists colony. From 1911 to 1918 he was a member of the Kecskemet Colony. In 1927 he exhibited at the Carnegie International Exhibition which revealed a mature art and an imagination which manifests itself om great line rhythms. Quite recently he turned to Hungarian lanscape and thus carries on the tradition of Hungarian art as represented by Munkacsy and Paal. Following the great upheaval of the past few years there is a close relationship between the Hungarian life of today and the rather tragic conception of life held by Munkacsy and Paal. Grunwald has reestablished this contact and is the very first to continue the pathos and sonority of his predecessors. He can elevate and refine the simplest motifs, making color melodies of the daily events of country life.
