The Furedi surname is sometimes given as Füredi, Fueredi, or Furedy. Furedi's first name has been given as Lilly, Lillie or Lilian. Lily Furedi (May 20, 1896 – Nov. 1969); Hungarian-American artist. A native of Budapest, she achieved national recognition for her 1934 painting, The Subway, which is a sympathetic portrayal of passengers in a New York subway car.

In 1932 and for much of the rest of the decade she placed paintings in group exhibitions, including: a 1932 exhibition by Hungarian-American artists in which she showed works called Hungarian Village and Hungarian Farm; a 1935 exhibition of the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors in which she showed a painting called Interior; a 1936 exhibition by the New York Municipal Art Committee, and a 1937 exhibition at the Woman's Club of Glen Ridge, New Jersey. Reviewing the 43rd annual Women Painters and Sculptors show of 1934, Edward Alden Jewell of The NY Times called attention to a painting of Furedi's entitled The Interesting Book which he included with paintings by three other artists as "unhappily deliberate attempts to be 'modern' at all costs." In contrast, the New York Sun chose another of Furedi's paintings, called After the Masquerade.... (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lily_Furedi) undefined
