Biography: 
17.6.1915 Born in Ciudad de México, DIF (MX)
Gerzso's Hungarian-born father, Oscar, moved to Mexico in the early 1890s and his mother, Dore Wendland, was a singer and pianist from Berlin who immigrated to Mexico in 1906.
Before he pioneered abstract art in his native country, Gerzso worked as a set designer at the Cleveland Playhouse. During those years, from 1935 to 1941, he began developing as a fine artist, exploring various styles. It is works from this period that are being exhibited at Aldo Castillo Gallery.
In 1973 Gerzso received a Guggenheim Fellowship and in 1978 he was awarded the highest artistic/scientific distinction given by the Mexican government, Premio Nacional de Artes y Ciencias. Gerzso's works of art are part of the collections of major museums throughout the world.
