Hungarian Art
Confrontation and Revival in the Modern Movement
Ăva ForgĂĄcs
Ă propos de ce livre
An engaging and insightful collection of essays and rarely-seen imagery that traces the development of modernism in Hungarian art, from birth to maturation and through several generations. Written in an accessible way for an international audience and reflecting on socio-political currents. This wide-ranging collection by Ăva ForgĂĄcs, a leading scholar of Modernism, corrects long-standing misconceptions about Hungarian art while examining the social milieu and work of dozens of important Hungarian artists, including LĂĄszlĂł Moholy-Nagy and Lajos KassĂĄk and looks at several permutations of modernism, from the avant-garde to neo-avant-garde. A fascinating portrait of twentieth-century Budapest emerges from the book, which shows how it became a microcosm of the social and political turmoil raging across twentieth-century Europe. ForgĂĄcs's text is as much a cultural history as it is a deeply satisfying dive into one country's unique art history.
