Imre von Mosdossy (1st Part : Colombia Stamps /Part A 1955/1960)

[Hungary] (b 1904/d 1995)


Irme von Mosdossy was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1904. He began his post-secondary education in engineering, but quickly transferred to Fine Arts. He graduated from the Royal Hungarian College of Fine Arts in 1927. Von Mosdossy's profession was that of a professor, though his livelihood was also supported by his contributions to the world of art. He exhibited works in both solo and group shows, created murals, restored antique colonial and European pictures, decorated churches, and was also involved in the design of state and commercial advertisements. In 1949, he created decorations for the Paris Fair, as well as mounted a solo show of watercolours and designs in the Art Gallery in the Palais Royal. In late 1963, Von Mosdossy immigrated to Canada, settling in Ontario.
Von Mosdossy's contributions to the philatelic world include stamp designs for Burundi, Colombia, Guinea, Panama, Paraguay, Venezuela, Haiti, and Honduras, as well as Canada.
