István Szentgyörgyi

István Szentgyörgyi (1881, Bégaszentgyörgy - 1938, Budapest) was a Hungarian sculptor. His work exemplified neo-classicism. Fourteen of his statues are in the possession of the Hungarian National Gallery and a copy of "Tip Catting" can be found in the Museum of Modern Art in Rome.
