A taste of the exhibition
From 1893 to 1995 he was among the artists working on the Feszty cyclorama. He won national gold medal in 1905. He held a collective exhibition in the National Salon in 1905 and one in the Könyves Kálmán Salon in 1909.

His early pictures betray his deep studying of nature. Several of his landscapes show the influence of French impressionists.

In 1907, he participated in the establishment of the MIÉNK. In 1911, he traveled to Kecskemét due to the invitation of Grünwald Béla where he managed the colony of artists besides being able to paint. He left the colony in 1914. In 1919, he organized a school for painters in Sárvár. He moved to Budapest in 1920. he died in Budapest in 1939.

The National Gallery holds several of his works.
