An original early modernist figurative etching circa 1940 by Andor Sugar signed lower right Sugar A. and titled indistinctly lower left. Presented with archival matting and a quality contemporary frame image size 9" x 11" overall framed size 13.5" x 17.5".
Painter and printmaker Andor Sugar was born in Budapest. He first gathered public attention in 1924 at the exhibition of the students of the Volkmann School of Design. In 1928, he exhibited pastels and etchings at the Mentor Library. An activist member of the Communist Party, Sugar was an eager participant in the New Society of Artists. His work drew praise at the Progressive Art Exhibition at the Tamás Gallery in Budapest and at other venues during the 1930s. With the advent of World War II, his situation became increasingly difficult due to the expansion of fascism in Europe and especially in Hungary. Yet in 1943 Sugar was able to present some works at a gallery exhibition entitled The New Romantics, the last in which took part. He was arrested in April 1944, interned at Sarvar, and transported to Auschwitz, never to return.
