Balogh Andras (1919-1992) was a renowned Hungarian painter associated with the Hungarian avant-garde movement. His life and art were deeply influenced by his time spent in Paris, where he studied under renowned artists such as Fernand Léger and Jean Metzinger. Andras' early works were influenced by cubism and abstract expressionism, but he later developed his own style characterized by a mix of geometric and organic forms. His bold use of colors and dynamic compositions made his paintings stand out in the modern art scene of the time. Throughout his career, Andras explored various themes in his art, including nature, landscapes, and Hungarian folk culture. He also incorporated elements of surrealism, often creating dream-like compositions that challenged the viewer's perception of reality. In addition to paintings, Andras also experimented with various techniques such as collage, printmaking, and sculpture. His multidisciplinary approach to art further solidified his reputation as an innovative and versatile artist. Andras' works have been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums around the world, including the Hungarian National Gallery and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. His talent and contribution to the art world were recognized with numerous awards, including the prestigious Kossuth Prize in 1963
