His portraits of opera singers led a 1979 history of the Metropolitan Opera House to note that "What Van Dyck was to the Stuart kings, Artur Halmi was to the sopranos of the first third of this century.
He was the prima donna's best friend". He received medals for his artwork in Antwerp, Budapest and Paris.
