Biography/History: Emile Lahner was born in Hungary in 1893. In the 1920's, he trained at Montparnasse. In the 1930's, his artistic tendency was toward abstraction, without ever detaching himself from figuration. His friend, the poet Léopold Sédar Senghor, evoked his abstraction as a "less rational geometry than rhythmic and living".
