Alfred Reth

Alfred Reth (1884 - 1966) was active/lived in Hungary, France.  Alfred Reth is known for Painting and sculpture.

Alfréd Réth was a Hungarian artist born in Budapest. He became a member of the early Cubist movement and devoted his life to the study of harmony of forms and materials. He travelled to Paris for the first time in 1905 and was influenced by Hindu art, which drove him towards total abstraction. He explored the harmony between a straight and curved line in the 1910s. Following exhibitions with avant-garde artists such as Léger, Metzinger, Kandinsky and Delaunay, he became a member of Abstraction Création in 1932. The organization included some of the most influential abstract artists of the European avant-garde and they became highly important figures of early modernism. As seen in the present work, “Composition avec matiéres et encre de Chine”, Réth used different materials to enhance the composition. It was said of Alfréd Réth at this time: “Réth has for a long time devoted himself to the study of materials... No one has investigated the possibilities of new techniques more thoroughly”   ...  [Displaying 1000 of 1775 characters.]  Artist bio
