An outstanding master of the Hungarian Secession, mainly designing furniture, interior decorations,
ceramic objects and items for everyday use; he also experimented with enamel works. He had success
at the world exhibitions: in 1902 in Turin and in 1904 in St Louis he was among the curators of the
Hungarian pavilion. He made long journeys in Central Asia, the Far East and even in Central
America: he was looking for the origins and parallelism of Hungarian ornamental motifs. He died in
Bombay, during a journey in Asia. Among Hungarian applied artists of the period it was Horti who
enjoyed the greatest international acclaim.
