Biography
Jenő Dudosits (Jenő Dudás) was a painter and graphic artist. He was born in Pándorfalva in 1900. He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest in 1925, then worked as a teaching assistant until 1927. He studied under Ágost Benkhard and Lajos Nándor Varga. In 1934-35, he received a Rome scholarship, at which time he designed glass paintings and painted landscapes.
As early as 1922, critics of the second exhibition of the artist colony of the Royal Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts in Miskolc highlighted his portraits.
In 1934, he appeared at the spring salon of the Szinyei company, where the critic of Nyugat described him as an outstanding talent alongside Imre Ámos, György Szín, Anna Margit, László Bartha and Edit Basch.
He became a member of the KÉVE artist association and from 1940 regularly appeared in the group exhibitions of the Műcsarnok (Kunsthalle). In 1941, he received a scholarship from Székelyföld. From 1949, he was a teacher at the College of Applied Arts.
In 1962, he had a solo exhibition in the Csók Gallery, and in 1969 in the Dürer Hall. His landscape entitled Kazlak is in the collection of the Székesfehérvár Museum. Some of his works are in the collection of the Hungarian National Gallery.
The commemorations about him emphasized that artists and insiders regard him as perhaps the most outstanding drawing teacher in the history of education in Hungary, but he is also among the most significant as a painter and graphic artist.
