Georg Mayer-Marton was a 20th-century Austro-British painter who was extremely successful in interwar Vienna. Mayer-Marton studied from 1919 - 1922 at the Vienna Academy with Josef Jungwirth and then with Carl von Marr in Munich. He also took lessons from Max Dvorák and Franz ?ižek. From 1925 until its dissolution in 1938 he was a member of the Hagenbund in Vienna; in later years also as its secretary and vice-president. In his early works he was still under the influence of Expressionism and New Objectivity, but from the 1950s he turned to a stricter style, incorporating elements of Cubism, which increasingly approached abstraction. In 1938, he emigrated with his wife Grete, nee Fried, to London, where he taught at St. John's Wood School of Art. In 1940, a large part of his work was destroyed in an air raid. His mother and younger brother were victims of the Holocaust. After the death of his wife in 1943-52, he taught as a professor at the Arts Council in London and from 1952 at the College of Arts in Liverpool. Honours: 1928 and 1936, Honorary Award of the City of Vienna; 1937, Chevalier de l'Ordre de Leopold II.
