Judith Magdolna Laqueur-Révész (15 July 1915 – 17 April 2018) was a Hungarian-Dutch potter and sculptor.[1]

Life and work

Judith Magdolna Révész was born in Budapest in July 1915, the daughter of psychologist Géza Révész and art historian Magdolna Révész-Alexander. In 1920, she moved with her parents from Hungary to the Netherlands. She rejected the Dutch art education,[2] and received a private education (1934-1937) at the School of Applied Arts in Budapest by sculptor Mark Vedres.[3]

In 1938, she became a freelance potter in Amsterdam. She was in close contact with

Maurits Cornelis Escher at the Utrecht Society Kunstliefde.[citation needed
]

For the retreat l'Elefante Felice of Prince Bernhard in Porto Ercole, Italy, in 1960 Révész made a tile picture of an elephant. After the demolition of the villa in 2012, the work returned to the Netherlands and was donated to the Dutch Tile Museum.[4]

Révész died in April 2018 in Malcesine at the age of 102.[5]
