János Kass

Born in Szeged, he was the storyboard artist for the first fully digital animated film and died March 29 in Budapest.

Kass regularly took part in every major national exhibition at home and abroad.

He made many friends within the British graphic art fraternity while spending some months in London during 1980, working on one of the earliest, fully digitised computer-animated films, Dilemma, with John Halas.

Kass was also a background artist for the So Beautiful and So Dangerous[3] segment of Ivan Reitman Productions' 1981 animated feature film Heavy Metal.

[4] Kass' drawings, etchings and silk-screen prints were exhibited in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge in 1989 and in 1990 at London Olympia.
