CONTACT US SKU#: 120349 US Shipping $49 + insurance. BIOGRAPHY: Miklos Suba was a Hungarian-born American artist. Trained as an architect, he devoted his time to both architecture and art until 1940 when he dedicated the remainder of his life to painting subject matter in Brooklyn, New York. He is classified as a member of the precisionism movement.Miklos Suba was born in Szatmar, Hungary in 1880. He was educated in architecture at the Royal Hungarian Technical University of Budapest, graduating in 1902. He also studied painting at the Vienna Academy in 1903 and later traveled and painted throughout England, France, the Netherlands and Italy. He returned to Budapest to work as an architect over the next two decades. During this time he met and married his wife, May, an American pianist. The couple gave birth to their daughter, Susanne Suba, in 1913. He immigrated to the United States from Hungary in 1924 and resided with his wife May and daughter at 142 Montague Street in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights. During this time he continued to devote time to both architecture and painting. He lived in Brooklyn Heights for the remainder of his life, later at 24 Sidney Place and finally at 69 Willow Street. With the exception of a single visit back to Hungary and a three-week stay in Chicago, he spent the rest of his life in Brooklyn. Suba died on 18 July 1944 after a brief illness. He is buried with his wife in Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn.During Suba's time in Budapest, he painted in a traditional central European style. However, Suba's adopted city impacted a major shift in painting style from countrysides and landscapes to industrial subject matter. The rendering of buildings with clean lines and exact detail caused him to be grouped with Precisionist artists. Suba's work depicts industrialization and modernization, rendered in precise, sharply defined geometrical forms. Of his work, Suba commented, "I try to express my realistic impressions without involking abstraction. I am neither photographic nor reminiscent. Suba restricted his paintings and drawings to areas within Brooklyn, often within walking distance of his residence. As shown in his works, Suba had an intimate relationship with his Brooklyn; from its alleys and waterways to its storefronts and industrial plants, as well as its views of Manhattan. Occasionally, he departed from his routine subject matter to others that fascinated him: barber shops, barber's poles and cigar store Indians. Suba created scale models of barbershop poles from various locations in Brooklyn, and these models were featured in an exhibit of his work at the Brooklyn Museum in 1948. The Brooklyn Historical Society maintains a collection of twelve of Suba's scale-model barbershop poles, including working drawings and maps of the pole's locations. He incorporated barber poles in many of his paintings.
