I'll introduce you to the life and works of a wonderful Hungarian photographer, Gábor Szilasi today on wonderzofphotography, who turned 98 years old just three days ago. Very happy birthday to him! I'm showing you now photos from both Hungary (where he spent the first 30 years of his life) and Canada (where he was based after). Enjoy!

About him:
Gabor Szilasi was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1928. His medical studies were curtailed in 1949 when he was imprisoned and then blacklisted for attempting to leave the country. In 1956, following the Hungarian Uprising, he escaped to Austria, immigrating a year later to settle permanently in Canada. Szilasi arrived in Halifax and later settled in Montréal in 1959. From 1959 to 1971 he worked for Office du Film du Québec, and worked on photography assignments in Montreal as well as in rural regions of Québec to document the province, particularly the rural regions. From 1979 to 1995 he taught photography at Concordia University, Montreal.
His photographs are held in many prestigious public and private collections. In 2009, Gabor Szilasi was awarded the Prix Paul-Émile-Borduas, Quebec’s highest distinction for outstanding contributions to the visual arts. A year later he received the prestigious Governor General’s Award for Lifetime Achievement in Visual and Media Arts and, in 2018, he was awarded with the Knight’s Cross of the Order of Merit of Hungary.
