Geza Saint-Galy. 1908-2003. Geza Saint-Galy, lived in California,
where he became something of a cultural institution in the art-oriented
city of Carmel. His work is hung in numerous churches, schools, clubs,
hotels, homes, and gardens throughout the West, and is also displayed
from New Hampshire and New York to Alaska and Hawaii. In every medium-oils,
watercolors, sculpture, pottery, mosaics, and tiles-the art of Saint-Galy
is notable for variety, vigor and originality.
A remarkable
career is reflected in the accomplishments of this prolific artist.
Born in Transylvania in 1908, Saint-Galy moved to western Hungary
in his youth and began his art education at an early age, first
tutored by the painter Simon Hollosy, founder of a modern school
of art in Munich. He took a degree in architecture and humanities
at the Archduke Joseph University in Budapest in 1933. At the insistence
of his father, he took a doctorate in law and political science
from Franz Joseph University in Szeged in Southern Hungary—but
later studied ceramics and graphic arts at the Academy of Art in
Budapest. His life’s work was in art. Though he painted in
oil and watercolor, tiles became increasingly important to him.
Saint-Galy emigrated to the united States in 1951 and settled in
Carmel in 1956, establishing his studio on Dolores at Sixth.
