Paul Vincze (1907 - 1994)
Paul Vincze was one of the most original, influential and artisitic sculptor-medallists of the 20th Century. Born in 1907 in Hungary into an artistic family, the son of a Jewish father and Roman Catholic mother he went on to study at the High School of Arts and Crafts in Budapest. His early interest in sculpture led him to the studio of E Telcs, one of the school’s great medallists and teachers, where he stayed for seven years. In 1935 he won a scholarship to Rome, where his work took on a more classical influence, and two years later he moved on to England (he subsequently became a British Citizen) where he worked from his small studio in Chelsea. After his marriage in 1958 to a French woman, Emilienne “Betty” Chauzeix, Vincze spent more time in France and finally moved permanently to a studio over looking the Mediterranean at Magagnosc, near Nice, where he died at the age of 86 in 1994.
