Biography
Mária Galimberti Lanow is a painter of Czech origin. She began her artistic studies at a private school in Vienna, then attended Simon Hollósy's painting school in Munich. Presumably between 1906 and 1908, she met Sándor Galimberti in Paris, with whom she was married for a short time. After 1911, she worked alternately in Nagybánya and Paris, and made study trips to Italy and Spain. He also worked at the artists' colony in Kecskemét, where she became friends with Csaba Vilmosé Perlrott. She returned to the Czech Republic in 1917. Her first collection exhibition took place in 1919. From 1935, she became a member of the Association of Visual Artists and exhibited regularly.
Her painting bears the stylistic features of Central European post-impressionism: it is characterized by decorative surface treatment and strong use of color similar to the Neo-impressionists of Nagybánya. She gradually developed from Fauvism to the Cubist vision of Cezanne, and in her Paris period she reached the ascetically simplified solutions of Expressionism.
