Tivadar Csontváry Kosztka (1853-1919) - A Hungarian painter who was part of the avant-garde movement of the early twentieth century. Tivadar Csontváry Kosztka (Hungarian; 5 July 1853 – 20 June 1919) was a Hungarian painter who was part of the avant-garde movement of the early twentieth century.[1] Working mostly in Budapest, he was one of the first Hungarian painters to become known in Europe. On 15 December 2006 the Kieselbach Gallery in Budapest sold an auction the most expensive Csontváry painting so far. The Rendezvous (1902) (“Meeting of the lovers“) was bought by an anonymous client for more than one million EUR. His works are held by the Hungarian National Gallery in Budapest and the Csontváry Museum in Pécs, among other institutions and private collectors. áry_Kosztka :Tivadar_Csontváry_Kosztka
