Oil on canvas; 102 x 81 cm. Imre Ámos was a twentieth century Hungarian Jewish painter. Following his studies at the Technical University, Budapest from 1927 to 1929, he enrolled in the Art School where he was a pupil of Gyula Rudnay. He married Margit Anna, also a painter. His painting was initially influenced by József Rippl-Rónai and Róbert Berény. From the mid-1930s onwards, his style emulated that of Chagall whose influence affected his artwork in his paintings such as The Old Church Servant Thinks of Heaven, and the Dream of Bear Leader. In 1936, he was elected to be a member of the New Society of Artists, which entailed working in Szentendre during the summer months. He visited Paris in 1937 where he met Chagall. Ámos became a member of the National Salon in 1938. However in 1940 during World War II like many others was a victim of genocide because he was of Jewish descent and was taken to labour camp in Vojvodina, then to the battle field in the east, and in 1944 he was deported to a concentration camp in Saxony where he later died cruelly.[1] Throughout the war he painted about his tragic experiences in shocking visions such as A eries of Dark Times, Escaping, and War. He died only aged 37 or 38.

The Hungarian painter Csontváry was born in Sabinov, Šariš county, Slovakia in 1853, having his best creative period between 1902-1909. In spite of painter´s studies in Munich and Paris, Csontváry never stopped painting in his extraordinary naive style. Art lovers with taste for expressionism would undoubtedly prefer Csontváry to Henri Rousseau (so would I). In the "Storm on Hortobágy" note the interesting contrast between round arches of a bridge and the row of V-shaped cattle´s horns. Note also a whip, the most important pictorial element as well as the most prominent linear feature (placed between two colour fields) , which is here a metaphor of the storm.
