Tibor Gergely:

Master Artist

Tibor Gergely was an American-Hungarian artist who was born in Budapest in 1900. He was a frail young boy who loved to doodle and draw. With very little formal training, he mastered his craft to the point where his talents were recruited by several publishers and theatrical groups in Vienna.

He met and later married Anna Lesznai, who was a rich patron of the arts and supported Gergely in his efforts. She herself was an acclaimed artist, and her work today is sought after by collectors. The couple immigrated to the U.S. in 1939 and settled in New York City where they would live the rest of their lives.

Tibor and Anna became friends in Budapest when both were members of a loosely organized group comprised of young prominent artists and musicians called the “Sunday Circle.”

Each Sunday, the group would meet at one of the many coffee houses in the city to discuss any subject pertinent to the day. Young Tibor would casually sketch many of the attendees and offer them the finished product. One such notable to have his image drawn several times was the composer Jenő Hubay.

After moving to New York, Gergely was recruited by Simon and Schuster Publishing to become a book illustrator for children. Some of his most prominent illustrated books were about trains, tugboats and animals drawn with human-like facial expressions. Tibor also worked and designed covers for various advertisers and magazines and did drafting for architectural firms. His artwork can be found in various renowned galleries and museums. His list of Little Golden Books is quite lengthy, and many editions are still available for purchase.

Gergely passed away in 1978, but his legacy of creating heartwarming characters via picture books will remain for generations to come.

The March 2017 wordsearch is comprised of 18 clues. Each clue is about the life of Tibor Gergely or books he brought to life by his illustrations. Good luck and see you in April. For more information on the artist, his life and work, log on to: www.tiborgergely.com.

Éljen az Amerikai-Magyar,
