Gyulai, Líviusz

Biography

He was born in1937 in Barót.

He was a student of Kmetty János and Ék Sándor at the Hungarian College of Fine Arts (now: Hungarian University of Fine Arts). After finishing university he went to Italy and England to study art. He made mostly book illustrations, animated movies and also dealt with ironic ink drawings, lino-cuts, as well as lithography and copper engravings. His first outstanding success that made him well-known in Hungarian culture was, when he illustrated Weöres Sándor's book "Psyche". He expressed the same role-play by the tools of graphics that Weöres did in Literature, and he also did it with a style beyond reproach.
