Julius Marosan was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1915 where he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts. He immigrated to Canada in 1957. During the 60's and 70's Julius exhibited with the Montreal Museum of Fine Art as well as holding several solo shows in many Toronto galleries. Marosan was first recognized for his modernist drawings of the Hungarian Revolution which he experienced first hand in 1956. Not long after emigrating to Canada in 1957, the Globe and Mail's influential Art Critic, Pearl McCarthy, cited Marosan as one of the leading abstract painters in Europe at that time and felt that his work was some of the best she had seen in years. Marosan's artwork is in the Art Gallery of Ontario, the National Gallery of Canada, the Fine Arts Museum in Budapest, the City of Vienna collection, The Hague, the Chiltem Gallery in London, England, the Medal Museum in Brussels and the National Archives of Canada.
