SZANDHÁZ, FERENC and LACK, JÁNOS (? - ?) The coauthors ran a workshop which met the average standard of eclecticistic architectural ornaments. They producted carved-stone sections and didn't make their own sculptures. Their works reflected the taste of their age. Their common workshop had existed from 1880 to 1890. SZANDHÁZ, KÁROLY and SZABÓ, ANTAL (Pest, 13. 6. 1853 - Nógrádverőce 20. 3.1939) From uSe Szandház brothers, Károly associated with his son-in-law Antal Szabó in 1879. The practice of tiieir workshop continued the Szandház brothers' work. They closely followed neo-renaissance style wimout rising above its form becoming a cliché. In the course of time they turned away from figurai sculpture perhaps because Szabó had some technical problems. Their co-operation broke up in 1889. SZABÓ, ANTAL The architectural sculptures of Szabó were One typical products of realism melting into schematism, his stilyzed character stopped all kind of characterization and drama and it was suitable to avoiding the problems arising from sculptural technics. His taste followed the neo-baroque melting into secession at the end of the century. Knowing his qualities he rather dealt with making sections from the beginning of the 20th century. SZABÓ, REZSÓ ANTAL (Budapest, 26. 2. 1883 - 3. 6. 1949) From 1907 he worked as his father's associate, then took over his father's workshop from 1910. He also followed the neo-baroque sculptural practice of the workshop, he rarely made ornaments. SZÁSZ, GYULA (Székesfehérvár, 18. 2. 1850 - Budapest, 24. 6. 1904) He was a less recognized sculptor of his age. After a remarkable start - scholarship, admitted scholar-works - he was pushed behind his contemporaries into the background. He couldn't make a living as an independent sculptor. The limits of his sculpture were determined by his conventional sculptural conception and-rather surprisingly his problems with composition and anatomy, in spite of being highly qualified. We can find typical defects of sculptural decoration on some of his public place sculptures. SZÉCSI (SCHEFTSIK), ANTAL (Pest, 29. 5. 1856 - Budapest, 15. 6. 1904) He was a qualified sculptor of a baroque and not of a renaissance taste having no anatomical and technical problems. He was a modest and still figure of the Hungarian art at the end of the century. His message didn't reach the level of his means of expression. He died early, before he could have put forth his abilities. His main work, Baross-sculpture, was an average product of conventional memorial sculptures based on baroque in eclecticism. As a genre-sculptor he aimed
