The fact that Divéky studied art in Vienna is apparent in most of his posters. His design sensibility and use of intricate decorative elements are consistent with those of the Secession. Prior to the First World War, he also worked in Switzerland, where he settled in 1919. Das Plakat in Der Schweiz p. 198.
