Biography
An outstanding member of the third generation of the "Nagybánya" school. During the artist camps for etchers he has been working with Valér Ferenczy and Károly Patkó, but was also friends with István Szőnyi, whose graphics had a major influence on the dynamic of Boldizsár’ s style. He received the Zichy Mihály- graphic award of the Szinyei Merse- Association in 1930. He is founding member of the Association of Etchers. The Plain air Painting had a major influence on his graphics.
His works mainly represent the Hungarian lowlands and landscapes of the lake Balaton in a naturalistic way. The kind of documentary representation shows the transcience of time, countrylife in contrast to the city. His mills and ruinous cottages refer to an idyllic state which is about to disappear.
