Béla Balázs (1884–1949) was a Hungarian-Jewish film critic and aesthete, also a writer and poet. He is known as the librettist of Béla Bartók’s “Bluebeard's Castle” and the writer of the scenario for Bartók’s ballet “The Wooden Prince”.
Lajos Kozma (1884–1948) besides being one of the chief Hungarian architects and interior designers of the first half of the 20th century was also a graphic artist and book illustrator. His architectural early works were created in Art Nouveau style but later, through Art Deco, he found his way to the International Modernism.
