George Molnar Template:Post-nominals Template:Post-nominals (Template:Langx) (25 April 1910, Nagyvárad – 16 November 1998, Sydney) was born in Nagyvárad, Austria-Hungary and came to Australia in 1939 as a sponsored migrant, to take up a job as government architect.[1] His talents were such that in Australia he became a much admired cartoonist and an architecture lecturer.[1] Molnar studied architecture and engineering in Budapest,[2] graduating in 1932.[3] He initially worked as a government architect in Canberra.[1][2] Later he taught architecture at University of New South Wales and University of Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning.[1]
His friendship with Bernard Hesling led to his being employed as a cartoonist for the Daily Telegraph from 1945 before moving to the Sydney Morning Herald in 1954.[2]
In 1971, he was awarded an OBE for services to journalism and architecture.[4] and became an officer of the Order of Australia in 1988.[5]
