Gyula Marosan Biography.

Gyula Marosan (1915 - 2003) was an important Hungarian-Canadian artist with exhibitions both in Hungary and Canada in the last 70 years. He is represented in public and private collections in many countries including exhibitions in museums and galleries such as the Budapest Kiallitoterem, Palace of Art, Janos Xatus Museum in Gyor, the Janos Damjanich Museuum of Szolnok and the Szombathely Gallery. His works have been recognized as being of the same calibre of Canadian abstract painters such as the "Painters Eleven" group which included the likes of Jack Bush, William Ronald, Hortense Gordon, Jock Macdonald, Oscar Cahen and Harold Town. The painting I'm selling is a substantial piece custom framed with image size of 60" x 42".

Below is a detailed biography which I have put together drawing on published works about this illustrious artist. Many other paintings and lithographs by other Canadian and international artists also available including other listed Canadian Hungarian artists such as Zsolt Nagy and Louis Dobry. Plus I have an estate collection of listed artist, Mary Hecht's bronze and terra cotta sculptures also available covering mythological and biblical themes and figures.

Gyula (Julius) Marosan (1915 -2003)

Marosan was taught by Vilmos Aba-Novak a highly regarded representative of modern Hungarian art. Key influences included Pablo Picasso, Jean Paul Riopelle and the Painters Eleven contemporaries of Marosan. Later in life, Marosan's style changed: the scale of his paintings increased and his works became less lyrical and more expressionistic as evidenced by the large abstract oil paintings from the early 1990s available for sale at well below gallery prices.

Exhibition History: 1956 Exhibits four works at the Sezession, one of which, is acquired by Vienna's mayor. 1957 Paints at Horst Americka and Venlo in the Netherlands and works on drawings and paintings of the Hungarian Revolution with sales to the Haags Geemeentemuseum in the Netherlands.
