Confrontation and Revival in the Modern Movement
by Éva Forgács
“I was unable to put down [this book]; one that will be used by those interested in the field for a long time to come.”– Dr. Oliver Botar, Hungarian Cultural Studies Insightful essays, monographic texts, and rarely-seen images trace from birth to maturation several generations of Hungarian Modernism, from the avant-garde to neo-avant-garde. Éva Forgács corrects long-standing misconceptions about Hungarian art while examining the work and social milieu of dozens of important Hungarian artists. The book also paints a fascinating image of twentieth-century Budapest as a microcosm of the social and political turmoil raging across Europe up to and beyond the collapse of the Soviet Era.
