He went to Paris and became the student of Julien Academy. His artistic ouvre had flourished in the Netherlands, where he lived until 1904. He was successful both in Hungary and abroad in his life as an impressionist or postimpressionist painter. His favourite subjects were the enterieurs and the landscapes. Based on will written by him in 1931 the Jewish Community inherited his villa and his house on 60 Andrássy Street. (Today this is the building of the Terror Museum). From the income of these houses Izsák Perlmutter would have liked to support the old inactive painters and the founding of a would-be Jewish Museum in Hungary. After his death he and the points of his testament became forgotten. In this issue we publish a selection from the exhibitions of the Hungarian Spring Festival (pp 76-78). http://www.koh.hu/muzeumok www.fectivalcity.hu CONFERENCES BUDAPEST WWW2003/ WWW2003 - 12th International WWW Conference Budapest Convention Centre - Budapest, Hungary May 20-24, 2003 http://www2003.org/ 2003.
