László Mednyánszky is the most productive and mysterious figure of Hungarian painting of the early 20th century. He was born into an aristocratic family in upper Hungary (now Slovakia). He distributed all his possessions and cared nothing about money. He has 3-4000 oil paintings and several thousands of graphic works in private collections all over the world. He only cared about his works till he was making them and he was happy to help his models by giving the works to them.
