3 unusual facts about Constant Detré


Constant Detré

Constant Detré (Szilárd Eduard Diettmann) was born in Budapest (then a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire) on 2 January 1891, and died 10 April 1945 in Garnat-sur-Engièvre a village of central France (département of Allier).

(A member of Detré's future wife's family, it was rumored, served as an "artistic advisor" in the government of Béla Kun) but if so, it was not by official decree.

He was an artist who left his native Hungary for good in rather obscure circumstances following the repression against the Béla Kun government of 1919.
