Sándor Ziffer

Sándor Ziffer (May 5, 1880, in Eger – September 8, 1962, in Baia Mare) was a Hungarian painter characterized by his strong decorative paintings and use of definite contours and colour in his works.

After 1906 he worked in Nagybánya where he settled on a permanent basis in 1918 making several trips to Paris and Berlin where he encountered forms of expressionism which impacted upon his painting. Later from 1935 to 1945, he worked as an art teacher. Six of his paintings are held in the Hungarian National Gallery.[1]
