Domanovszky, Endre
(b Budapest, 23 Jan 1907; d Budapest, 15 May 1974). Hungarian painter and tapestry designer. He studied under Oszkár Glatz (1872–1958) at the School of Fine Arts, Budapest, and held his first exhibition there in 1929. His refined drawing style was influenced by 19th-century Neo-classicism, but he soon superseded this with the lyric sensibility of his colours. In the 1930s his main interest was in tapestry, and he exhibited internationally, although some of his tapestries were lost at the outbreak of World War II. His works are often influenced in their presentation by the narrative technique of folk tales, although folklore is not an exclusive topic in his oeuvre, which also comprises such monumental commissions as the tapestry Saint Stephen (1938; Pécs, Pannonius Mus.).
