tivadar kosztka csontváry -lrb- ; 1853 -- 1919 -rrb- was a hungarian painter who was part of the avant-garde movement of the early twentieth century .
working mostly in budapest , he was one of the first hungarian painters to become known in europe .
on 15 december 2006 the kieselbach gallery in budapest sold an auction the most expensive csontváry painting so far .
the `` rendezvous '' -lrb- 1902 -rrb- -lrb- `` meeting of the lovers '' -rrb- was bought by an anonymous client for more than one million eur .
his works are held by the hungarian national gallery in budapest and the csontváry museum in pécs , among other institutions and private collectors .
