István Nádler

István Nádler is a member of the legendary Iparterv and Budapesti Műhely groups, besides being one of the most important representatives of the Hungarian neo-avant-garde movement and hard-edge painting. Born in 1938, he studied under Gyula Hincz at Budapest’s Academy of Fine Arts, from where he graduated in 1963. From the beginning of his studies, he was involved in a free group of young Hungarian artists, the Zuglo Circle, until 1968. The movement followed the tradition of French lyrical abstraction and modernist icons such as Kandinsky, Klee and Malevich.
