Salute to Miklós Horthy (1940-es évek első fele)

Originally trained as a blacksmith, Győri decided to become a painter in 1929. From the mid-1930s he exhibited in Budapest at the so-called Őstehetségek Exhibitions, but like many of his contemporaries, he was disturbed by the label. So in 1940 he enrolled at the College of Fine Arts to become a trained painter, but left the institution before graduating in the spring of 1944. 

Győri's large mass portraits are typically composed of mosaic-like scenes, but his instinctive composing power always creates structural unity.
