About The Artist: Hungarian-born Slovak painter Elemír Halász-Hradil was known for his quiet portraits, lyrical landscapes, and atmospheric genre scenes. Trained in Vienna, Munich, and Paris, with Impressionist and luminist influences, which are expressed in his works through a soft palette and delicate, hazy brushwork. He often painted en plein air, capturing everyday life and natural settings with sensitivity and calm. He served as a frontline painter during World War I, and after, he settled in Košice, where he became a central figure in the local art scene, both as a teacher and a cultural organizer.
