He studied at the School of Design in Budapest and was a pupil of Simon Hollósy in Munich from 1892, and soon after studied at the Julian Academy in Paris from 1893-95. In 1896 he returned to Hungary and worked at Benczur's school for three years. After further studies in Paris in 1906, his style evolved toward stylized postimpressionistic oils emphasizing forms and lines. Kernstock emigrated to Germany in 1919 and lived in Berlin until 1926. When he returned to Hungary, his style was primarily Expressionist. The last period of his life in the 1930's shows a strong influence of Etruscan painting. Kernstok's graphic works together with his copper engravings are of great signifance and his lectures and articles were often published in art journals and newspapers.
