Gustave Miklos was the second of four children. At age seven his teachers successfully detected explicit signs of his emerging talent, and persuaded his parents to educate their children further.<ref name="Készman József">{{cite web|url=http://artmagazin.hu/artmagazin_hirek/egy_vilagraszolo_magyar_-_az_art_deco_egyetemes_nagykovete_miklos_gusztav_1888_budapest1967_oyonnax.102.html|title=artmagazin az on-line művészeti magazin - Egy világraszóló magyar|work=artmagazin az on-line művészeti magazin}}</ref>
From 1904 to 1906 Miklos studied under [[László Kimnach|Kimnach László]] (1857–1906) at the [[Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design|Hungarian Royal National School of Arts and Crafts]],<ref name="Készman József" /> where he met [[Joseph Csaky]].<ref name="Patkaï">Christiane Patkaï, ''Gustave Miklos: sa vie et son œuvre de sculpteur, mémoire de maitrise, Paris,1978</ref> A musician and music lover, he played the violin and harp. He traveled to [[Paris]] in 1909, shortly after Csaky, and settled at [[La Ruche]] in [[Montparnasse]].<ref>{{cite
==Parisian years==
Eager to learn about the new school of [[Cubism]], Miklos frequented the [[Académie de La Palette]], studying under [[Henri Le Fauconnier]], and later entering the studio of [[Jean Metzinger]].<ref name="Patkaï" /><ref>Danuta Cichocka, Etienne Bastin, Christiane Patkaï, Jacques Renoux., Gustave Miklos. Un Grand œuvre caché. Livres, reliures, graphismes, vol. 1, Paris, Fata Libelli, 2013, ISBN 978-2-9544801-0-7</ref> He visited the group of artists, poets and writers of the [[Section d'Or]]. Shortly after the [[Armory Show]] in New York, Miklos participated in the ''Exhibition of Cubist and Futurist Pictures'', Boggs & Buhl Department Store, Pittsburgh, July 1913. The exhibition included works by [[Jean Metzinger]], [[Albert Gleizes]], [[Jacques Villon]], Fernand Léger]], [[Pierre Dumont (painter)]] and Arpad Kesmarky. Sponsored by the [[Gimbels|Gimbel Brothers]] department store, the Cubist and Futurist show toured Milwaukee, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and New York from May through the summer of 1913. [[Walter Pach]], knowing practically all the artists in the exhibition, probably had something to do with the organization of the show.<ref name="McCarthy, Pach">{{cite
The following year he exhibited three paintings with the Cubists at the [[Salon des Indépendants]] in Paris. Late July 1914 he participated with [[Ricciotto Canudo]], [[Joseph Csaky]], [[Blaise Cendrars]], [[Jean Lambert-Rucki]], on a call for foreign artists to engage in the military of the side of the French.<ref name="Patkaï" /> Under the pseudonym of "Rameau", Miklos is mobilized with the [[Armée française d'Orient]], along with his friend Jean Rucki, who adopted the nickname "Lambert".<ref name="Patkaï" /> During the World War I, he was posted at Bizerte, Tunisia and [[Thessaloniki|Salonika]], Greece. There he discovered an intense color palette and ornamental richness previously unknown to him that would affect all his artistic endeavors. He was assigned with Lambert-Rucki to aerial reconnaissance missions and subsequently to the Archeological Service at the [[Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki]], Greece, where both Miklos and Lambert-Rucki conducted excavations. The artists [[Paul Jouve]] and [[:fr:Jean Goulden|Jean Goulden]] were also stationed in Salonika.<ref name="Patkaï" /><ref name="Family Archives">Family Archives</ref>

During the war Miklos drew in his sketchbook and painted watercolors. In February 1919 he exhibited at the ''Exposition des artistes d'Orient'', Athens.<ref name="Family Archives" /> He returned to Paris in the fall of 1919. His attic studio at [[Rue Saint-Jacques, Paris]], was flooded by rain and many of his paintings were damaged.<ref name="Patkaï" />
In Paris Miklos became more closely allied with the artistic avant-garde, developing a wide range of interests and technical skills, including time spent in the lacquer workshop ''Ateliers Brugier'', and then in [[Jean Dunand]]'s studio where he practiced metal-beating and developed an interest in enameling and rock-crystals.<ref name="Christie's" /><ref>{{cite
In 1921, on the initiative of the French art dealer [[Léonce Rosenberg]], three public auctions were held over the course of two days. Many Cubist works were sold.<ref name="Kubisme">[http://www.kubisme.info/kt260b.html Kubisme, ''Veiling 19 oktober 1921'']</ref> Five works by Miklos were presented on Wednesday 19 October 1921 at the last public auction with 233 works in Amsterdam, entitled ''Oeuvres de l'école française moderne. Collection réunie par L'Effort Moderne (Leonce Rosenberg), Paris, L'Hotel de Ventes de Roos (sous la direction de A. Mak), Amsterdam, 1921. Also in the catalog of this auction were eight plates inserted with black and white images in a separate folder.<ref name="Kubisme" />

In 1927 Miklos collaborated with other artists, including [[Joseph Csaky]], [[Jacques Lipchitz]] and [[Louis Marcoussis]], on the decoration of Studio House, rue Saint-James, [[Neuilly]], owned by the French fashion designer [[Jacques Doucet (fashion designer)|Jacques Doucet]]. Doucet discovered his work at the Salon des Indépendants in 1920.<ref name="Christie's" /> Doucet was also an art collector of [[Post-Impressionist]] and [[Cubist]] paintings. He purchased ''[[Les Demoiselles d'Avignon]]'' directly from Picasso's studio.<ref>{{cite
