Eugene Kormendi
Eugene Kormendi (1889–1959)[1] was a Hungarian sculptor. He studied at the Academy of Budapest before moving to Paris to collaborate with Auguste Rodin and Jean Paul Lorenz. Kormendi first came to the United States in 1939 along with his wife, Elizabeth, to attend the New York World's fair. The outbreak of World War I prevented him from returning to Europe, hence he stayed in the United States to pursue his career.[2] Starting in 1947, he was sculptor in residence at the University of Notre Dame until the end of his career.

gollark: Although given the power budget I doubt the sustained performance is very good.
gollark: Mine is just somewhat old.
gollark: Yes, they're fairly competitive now I think.
gollark: Its main advantage is just that it is conveniently usable one-handed or while standing up, which the phone plus keyboard is not.
gollark: Compared to my laptop, my phone has significantly worse CPU power, massively worse GPU power, a smaller but equal-resolution and better-color-calibrated screen, much worse IO (a single USB 2 USB-C port versus five USB ports, a headphone jack, Ethernet, DP/HDMI, and power), much better battery life but worse battery capacity, and worse software.
