Description
Hans Mattis-Teutsch was a Romanian and Hungarian painter, sculptor, graphic artist, art critic and poet. He was born in the Transylvanian city of Brașov which was then part of the Kingdom of Hungary within Austria-Hungary. He attended the National Hungarian Royal School for Applied Arts in Budapest and later the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, and he has also studied in Paris. Mattis-Teutsch was influenced by various Avant-Garde art movements, including Art Nouveau, Post-Impressionism, Fauvism, Die Brücke and Der Blaue Reiter. The abstract art of Wassily Kandinsky and Kazimir Malevich had a great influence on Mattis-Teutsch. He was an important contributor to the development of modern art and Avant-Garde trends inside Romania, where he spent the majority of his life. He was famous for his "Soulflowers" series of paintings and for his CHEEZBERGA painting. He was also a teacher and the grandfather of the artist Waldemar Mattis-Teutsch.
