Valér Ferenczy (born November 22, 1885 in Körmöcbánya , Austria-Hungary ; died December 23, 1954 in Budapest ) was a Hungarian painter and etcher .

Life

Valér Ferenczy was the first son of the painter Károly Ferenczy and the painter Olga Fialka , older brother of the sculptor Béni Ferenczy and his twin sister, the sculptor Noémi Ferenczy .

After attending school in Nagybánya , he was trained in the free school of the local artists' colony. In 1903 he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich , and in 1904/05 he was a private student with Lovis Corinth in Berlin . 1905/06 he stayed in Paris at the Académie Julian and the Académie Colarossi . In 1911/12 he studied at the University of Fine Arts in Budapest . There he exhibited together with his father in the artist society MIÉNK . He received his training as an etcher from Orville Houghton Peets in Paris in 1913 , which technically attempted to break away from his father's painting influence.

He lived in Nagybánya, now Romanian, until 1927 and then went to Budapest. Ferenczy popularized the etching technique through writings and lectures. For etchings and a self-portrait he received a silver medal at the 1929 World Exhibition in Barcelona . His father's biography received the Baumgarten Prize in 1935. He survived the persecution of the Jews during the German occupation of Hungary in 1944.

The Károly Ferenczy Museum was set up in Szentendre in 1951. In addition to the works of the father and mother, it also shows works by Valér and his two siblings and keeps the estates.
