[1] As a young man, Ferenczy went to Munich and Paris to study art, as did many artists from Hungary since the late nineteenth century.
Later in his career, Ferenczy also worked in Germany and the Soviet Union, for a time.
After his experiences with cubism first and with expressionism later, his art evolved in sculptures with emphasized forms.
While a highly talented sculptor he was one of the most accomplished graphic artists in Hungary of the period.
