Gathering (1910)

He was a student at the School of Applied Arts. He went on to study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and then in Paris. He travelled in Italy, Germany and France, mainly painting churches. After his return home, he became a teacher at the School of Applied Arts in Budapest, where he taught graphic art. During the First World War he was taken prisoner of war by Russia in 1915. He continued his artistic activity first as the artistic director of the toy factory in Krasnoyarsk and then, after 1917, as the organizer of graphic art schools in Moscow. In 1920 he returned home and between 1921 and 1925 he was the head and teacher of the Miskolc Artists' School. From 1935 he was head of the textile department of the School of Applied Arts. He became known mainly for his illustrations, but he worked and achieved success in almost all applied arts (metal arts, glass painting, textile and tapestry design, furniture making, ceramics). He is an excellent mechanic; his work on textile machinery has been universally recognised. 

Muhits' painting depicts men gathering in the main square of a rural town. Presumably it is not a celebration, because then the women would be there. They are visibly excited, deliberating, wearing their finest clothes, their subayas. Muhits was interested in folk art, he himself went collecting, as did many of the Gödöllő artists.
