Painter, graphic artist and teacher, born in Hungary, who remained there until the year of the uprising against Communism, 1956. He studied art and architecture at the Academy of Applied Art, Budapest, 1935–41, teaching in the capital until he left. As well as mixed and solo shows in Hungary, Sajó exhibited at RA, Paris Salon and in the English provinces, one-man shows including University of Surrey, which holds his work. Lived in Worthing, Sussex, from 1959 with his wife Erzsbet, also an artist. He founded the Atelier Art Group there. The Daily Telegraph art critic Terence Mullaly wrote that Sajó “was an archetypal master of the Hungarian tradition of painting,” with “a sense of colour rare in British art.” In 1995 Worthing Museum and Art Gallery displayed works it owns by Sajó, as well as showing an extensive privately made video on his life.
