Nandor Brenner Viday, Born in Budapest, Hungary in 1903, date of death unknown (but I have seen it on the Albright Knox museum website as 1944). He was a painter and graphic artist who studied initially at the School of Arts between 1918-21 with Master Eugene Jeno Haranghy, then at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts between 1923-25 with Master Oszkar Glatz, then Academie Julian in Paris. He began exhibiting his work in 1920 and attracted immediate attention. In 1925 he won Hungary’s Benczur Prize, in 1926 he won a Gold Medal in the Hungarian National Exhibition for a religiously-themed work in a Baroque-style copperplate engraving, followed with the Ferencz Jozsef Prize in 1928. From 1920 on exhibitions. In 1930 at the Ernst Museum, in 1937 at the Salon of the Studio He was a member of the Munkacsy Ceh and Szinyei Merse Art Groups His paintings reflect the influence of both naturalism and expressive elements and he participated in major exhibitions throughout, Hungary, Europe and the U.S.
