Kluska was a German painter and illustrator born in Berlin. He studied from 1920 at the Berlin Academy under the artist Max Koch. In 1929, Kluska, a Protestant by birth, converted to Catholicism; which might explain his later fascination for Dante. He mainly painted nudes, male and female, but was heavily inspired by Christian motives; and from 1935, especially by Dante’s Divine Comedy. He produced numerous large format depictions of scenes of the Divine Comedy, in particular from the parts ‘Inferno’ and ‘Purgatorium’.

Bortnyik was a painter and graphic designer, whose work was greatly influenced by Cubism, Expressionism and Constructivism. In 1922 he moved to Weimar, Germany and became connected to the Bauhaus. When he moved back to Hungary he founded an art school in Budapest, where he followed Bauhaus principles. He was also the director of Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts (1949–1956).
