István Csók (13 February 1865, Sáregres – 1 February 1961, Budapest) was a Hungarian Impressionist painter. Although he was born in Transdanubia, his narrower homeland was not a hill country, but the flat greens of the Sárrét, the humid air of the Sárvíz and Malomvíz, and the lush green vegetation.

Life The child István Csók found an excellent environment for his daydreams weaving tales on the banks of the roaring stream, where he spent hours in the shade of the weeping willows or at the base of the rustling reeds, immersed in his storybook or daydreaming. He was a sickly, weak child, his family pampered him and condoned his little pranks. Later, in high school, he interpreted learning in a peculiar way: he was unable to deal with what he didn't feel like doing, but he didn't have to study what he liked. After seeing the warnings sent home every quarter, his father finally ran out of patience and reproachfully asked the question in his reprimanding letter: "What will become of you?" However, young Csók had already decided by this time: he would become a painter. His family was not surprised by his decision, as he had been drawing passionately since childhood. Thus, in 1882, he entered the Model Drawing School in Budapest, where he studied under the direction of Bertalan Székely, János Greguss and Károly Lotz until 1885. At that time, lively artistic activity was already taking place in the capital. Gyula Benczúr, who was called home from his…

Impressionism Influenced by French (Matisse, Maurice Denis, Van Dongen, Vlaminck, Derain), he painted the works entitled "Műteremsarok" and "Thámár". The latter was purchased by the Italian state in 1911 at the Rome International Exhibition. It was such a great success that the Minister of Public Education bought István Csók's self-portrait for the Uffizi gallery. Returning home from Paris in 1909, he achieved great success with his portrait of Tibor Wlassics in the Műcsarnok, then in 1917 in Pittsburgh, US Between 1921 and 1932, he was a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest. He regularly spent his summers in Transdanubia, Tolna and Baranya counties, and with his colorful pictures he made the picturesque costumes of the Sárköz and Öcsény peasants widely known (Öcsényi baptistry-1902, Honeyeaters, Teknővájó cigányok -1903). From the summer of 1905, he mostly worked in the Mohács area. The sumptuous clothing of the many women, the freshness and bright lights of the countryside were an inexhaustible storehouse of new and new pictorial themes. Dáráz, probably inhabited by Sokács, appears several times in his paintings (Dáráz landscape-1905, Dáráz detail-1907). He spent most of his time here around 1909 (The bumblebee priest, The bumblebee head tree, At the…
