Kálmán Mátyás Béla Kubinyi was an influential etcher, engraver and enamelist and a member of the so-called Cleveland School, a number of relatively prominent artists in Northeast Ohio that existed from about 1910 to 1960.
Kubinyi was a modernist whose interpretations of the machine age through "ash can" subjects and industrial scenes often bear the stamp of Social Realism. His work was widely exhibited throughout the 1930s, including at the Venice Biennale and the New York World's Fair.
