József Domján Also known as: Joseph Domjan March 15, 1907, District XIX., Budapest, Hungary to November 25, 1992, Ridgewood, New York, NY Born in Budapest in 1907, Jozsef Domján spent his early years as an engine fitter and foundry worker. During the Depression he toured several European countries on foot, covering 10, 000 miles and earning his way by selling paintings and sketches. Upon his return to Hungary, he studied seven years at the Budapest Academy of Arts. In 1956 he moved to Switzerland, to the United States in 1957 and became an American citizen. Domján’s inspiration for his woodcuts comes from the folklore of his native Hungary and his love of nature. His woodcuts are most noted for their intricate design, subtle coloring and deep rich texture. His distinctly abstract images evolve through the use of a live model, coupled with his knowledge of anatomy and ideas from his own imagination. Domján’s works are highly imaginative, richly textured, and brilliantly colored and are in the collections of major museums and private collectors around the world. One of the most imporant color woodut artists in the Twentieth Century, he received the title “Master of the Color Woodcut, ” an honor given in China only once in a century.
