Tivadar Kozsztka Csontváry

1853-1919 Hungary/Expressionism

 

Brief Biography-Tivadar Csontvary-Kosztka was a Hungarian artist who was eccentric in most regards. He claimed to have received a secret message that he would be a renowned en plein air painter. He did most of his work between 1903 and 1907. Tivadar spent much of his life as a loner, writing religious pamphlets. He was, however, later considered to have suffered from schizophrenia. In 1907, he had his works exhibited in Paris, and after his death, in Pecs, Hungary, a museum for his paintings was established.
