Sandor Zicherman

Sándor Róbert Zicherman (Russian: Шандор Зихерман; 6 April 1935 – 29 November 2021[1][better source needed]) was a Soviet and Hungarian artist.

He spent his childhood and started his studies in Berehove (Beregszász) which is now located at the Ukrainian-Hungarian border.

In 1958 he was accepted to the College of Arts and Crafts in Lwow and started his professional studies at the faculty of monumental painting.

Between 1969 and 1972 he worked and lived in a number of different cities and regions including Lviv, Jūrmala, Riga, Elista, and Moscow.

In 1972 Zicherman moved to Tolyatti (formerly Stavropol-on-Volga) at the invitation of the city administration for the organization of cultural and artistic life.

Of this move to Hungary, he said that "[A]ll of us are of mixed nationalities, I do not know a single person who is one hundred percent Russian or Mordovian".

Zicherman does not adhere to a particular genre; among his works and graphics are portraits, avant-garde pieces, and classical landscapes, employing a variety of stylistic devices such as cubo-futurism, Post-Impressionism, and realism.
