Róbert Berény was born in 1887 in Budapest. He was a prominent representative of the Hungarian avant-garde movement. Berény began his studies in 1904, at the Tivadar Zemplényi School of Decorative Arts. In 1905 he went to Paris and became a student of the Julian Academy. During his time there, Matisse's and Cezanne's art had a huge impact on Berény.

In 1909 he became a member of the avant-garde group known as The Eight. Berény played an active part during the time of the Soviet Republic, and became the head of the painting department at the Art Directory.

Most of his works can be found at the Hungarian National Gallery. He has numerous works at the Janus Pannonius Museum (Pécs), in the Deák Collection, in Székesfehérvár, and in private collections as well.
