  Hugó Scheiber was a Hungarian modernist painter. Early he turned away from Impressionism and turned to Expressionism. He came to Vienna between 1919 and 1921 with the artist friend Béla Kádár. Scheiber established himself in the avant-garde circle of artists through the Hungarian artistic community in Vienna, which included the writer and painter Lajos Kassák, a friend of his. Through Kassák, Scheiber came to the attention of Herwarth Walden. Beginning in 1924, Walden regularly published works by Scheiber in the magazine Der Sturm and listed him as an artist in the Sturm Gallery. He had nine exhibitions from 1924 to 1930, including Kádár, Adolf Kuethe, László Moholy-Nagy, Oskar Nerlinger, Boriska Polgar, Kurt Schwitters, and Arnold Topp. Scheiber's paintings were shown, among others, at the "International Exhibition of Modern Art" of the "Société Anonyme" at the Brooklyn Museum, New York, in 1926. In addition to Scheiber, Hungarian representatives included his Sturm colleagues László Moholy-Nagy, Béla Kádár and Peri. Other notable artists included Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, Pablo Picasso, Johannes Itten, Marcel and Suzanne Duchamp. This was followed in 1930 by an exhibition at the Hagenbund in Vienna and, at the invitation of the writer Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, by the Mostra Nazionale d'Arte exhibition in Rome in 1933. In 1937, Scheiber's drawing "Portrait of Dr. Luther" from the Museum Folkwang Essen was confiscated and destroyed in the Nazi action "Degenerate Art". Scheiber was held in high esteem by the French composer Paul Arma, among others.
