Miklós Borsos (13 August 13, 1906 – 27 January 1990) was a Hungarian sculptor and medallist. His style integrated elements of archaic art and classicism with modern elements.
Born in Nagyszeben, Transylvania (present-day Sibiu, Romania), he and his family settled in Győr in 1922; Borsos and his wife lived in the same Győr house until the end of World War II.
He became interested in art and particularly sculpture in the late 1920s. He initially began as a painter, he dedicated his interest to sculpture during the 1930s, and became accomplished in the latter art by 1940. In 1928 and 1929 he spent travelled from Venice to Marseille. In 1929 he briefly trained at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts under Oszkár Glatz, which was his only formal training.
Up to the end of the 1940s, Borsos' art was tightly connected to the modern Hungarian plastic art represented by Fülöp Ö. Beck, Béni Ferenczy, and Ferenc Medgyessy. From about 1950 onwards, he developed more intellectual, abstract, and experimental approaches. Borsos's form of expression and the subjects of his art were connected with the intensity of his experiences and views.
Borsos had his first public showing in 1941 in Budapest at the Tamás Galéria. He later had shows around Europe, including Linz, Austria (1964), Venice (1966), and Rome (1967), Zürich, Graz and Locarno in 1967.
