408 pages, 15,000 HUF
In this stunning book, Tamás Kieselbach, famous art collector, art dealer and art historian, highlights visual art and music. His intention was not to write a scientific study, but to illuminate exciting and characteristic encounters of the two branches of art in Hungary. The overlaps are interpreted by well-known art historians, focusing on the outstanding painters, musicians and performers from the academic painting of the 19th century, through Art Deco, to Béla Kondor’s oeuvre. Kieselbach handles the history of Hungarian painting in a completely new way. This volume argues that Hungarian painting should not be presented to the world as an isolated phenomenon. Rather, it should be shown as bound to the dramatic history of 20th century Hungary, bound to other branches of art: music, literature, and photography.
