He studied in Budapest under Ferenc Helbing and Gyrgy Leszkovszky from 1926 until 1928, and under Lszl MoholyNagy at the Bauhaus in Germany until 1933. As the Nazis came to power he moved to Rome and worked sculpting memorials on a stipend from the Roman Hungarian Academy, where he eventually became an adviser. He fought in the Italian resistance movement starting in 1943.
