Anton Prinner (31.12.1902-6.4.1983); Hungarian, naturalized French painter, engraver and sculptor. Born Anna Prinner in Budapest, Prinner began using the name Anton when he moved to France in 1928.
From 1920-24, studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts.... He began his constructivism period in 1932 and entered Stanley William Hayter's studio to study engraving. In 1937, he entered his figurative period with the work La Femme taureauen in granite. He created his first wood sculpture, La Femme à la natte, in 1940.
His interest in Egypt inspired him to invent papyrogravure, a technique for printmaking using cardboard instead of the unwieldy copper plates that were prevalent at the time. Using this method, he made his own prints for his work Gravures de l'Apocalypse.

...he died in poverty at 81...and never discussed his gender change.

Spending much of the German occupation in hiding, he settled near Picasso’s studio in Antibes in the south of France in 1950, where his work became progressively esoteric and several of his sculptures explored themes of androgyny and metamorphosis.
