Lili Ország studied at the Academy of Fine Arts under Isvtán Szöni. In 1944 she was saved from a train that was bound for Auschwitz and she never forgot the fear she felt at that time. She finished her studies in 1950 and developed a personal non-figurative style of painting in which she inhabited elements from surrealism. She was often inspired by the past and used elements from ancient history and from disappeared cultures in the townscapes that she painted between 1960 and 1965. She also designed puppets. She exhibited in many museum in Hungary and in Tel Aviv, Rome, Paris, Warsaw and Germany. |
