Hungarian 1870-1961. A contemporary of Isidor Kaufman, Lakos also studied in Budapest at the Budapest Academy of Art. Later he studied in Munich before moving on to Paris. In Paris he was influenced by the Impressionists, as he became one of the few artists to treat classical Judaic subjects in what was considered at the time an advanced technique. His approach to Jewish subjects was one of respect and nobility in contrast to the almost caricaturist approach of his contemporaries. Several works appear in the permanent collection of the Museum of Budapest.
