Faragó had international artistic training and exposure to many different forms of Art Nouveau design. He studied art in Paris, where he was a pupil of Mucha and a student at the Académie Colarossi. Upon his return to Hungary, he studied under two important Hungarian painters, Adolf Fényes and Béla Iványi Grünwald. His style reflects elements of the finest French Art Nouveau as well as the minimal geometric ornamentation of the Secession. Magyar Plakat p. 48.
