Hungarian avant-garde artist Lajos Vajda combined religious symbols, architectural and folk art motifs, abstract, figurative, and surrealistic elements on his pictures to create complex images. He developed a fascination with film that led to a prolific period as a collagist. His last abstract surreal drawings and photomontages exude a fear of fascism and prefigure the violence of the Second World War. He died of tuberculosis in 1941 at the age of 33.
