Marcel Vertes was an outstanding twentieth century painter, printmaker and illustrator. Having moved from his native Hungary to Paris during the First World War, he lived and worked in the famous Latin Quarter. Quickly establishing himself as one of the most important artists of the Paris scene, Vertes continued in the footsteps of Boutet, Forain, Toulouse-Lautrec and others. The art of Marcel Vertes was at its peak during the vibrant decade of the 1920’s. Concentrating upon scenes of Paris street life, portrayals of women and depictions of circus and cabaret acts, he left a legacy of original lithographs and drawings that superbly capture the spirit of 1920’s Paris.
