The exhibition Destiny and Symbol -
Hungarian Art in Transylvania
1920-1990 presents the art from this region and period on an unprecedented scale. Instead of an approach based on existing stereotypes, the display introduces the lesser-known, hidden or completely unknown aspects of Transylvanian art. This comprehensive exhibition greatly relies on works loaned from public and private collections in Transylvania and Romania. Its
nine sections
demonstrate various features of the seven decades of Transylvanian Hungarian art.
The exhibition features some
430 works - paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, posters and other illustrations
- kindly loaned to the Hungarian National Gallery by more than eighty public and private collections in Hungary and abroad. In addition to the artworks, portrait films, etudes and brief reports about individual artists, groups, and related institutions of Transylvania may be watched in the projection room.
