Margit Anna (born Margit Sichermann; 23 December 1913 – 3 June 1991) was a twentieth century Hungarian painter.
Her artwork was considered abstract expressionism, utilizing bold colors and textures along with influences of surrealism. Her largest influences were her own identity, particularly after her husband's death during World War II, as well as humankind's exposure to tragedy throughout history.
During the Communist rule of Hungary, she was barred from participating in the art world, but she began to paint again in the mid-1960s. Her pictures symbolized suppressed tragedy such as Pleasure Ride (1967) and Innocence Tale (1964), with surreal and expressive metamorphoses of the puppet motif. She died on 3 June 1991, aged 77.[citation needed]
