In mid-September, an exhibition of works by one of the
most significant figures of Hungarian visual art opened at the Hungarian
National Gallery.
The exhibition
showcasing the extremely versatile work of János Vaszary is a curiosity,
if only because 24 out of the presented 70 paintings were previously
unknown to the public as well as to professionals. The paintings encompass
almost every phase of Vaszary’s oeuvre, from his early impressionistic
period to his expressive compositions, from his Art Deco style in Paris to his
Danube Promenade pictures and seaside scenes with a Mediterranean ambiance.
