Picturing Progress: Hungarian Women Photographers 1910-1946 opened at The National Museum of Women in the Arts. The exhibition explores the careers of women photographers, from those who often filled the positions of male photographers who joined military service to those who dedicated their work to the pursuit of social justice by taking pictures of the poor during the economic crisis of the 1920s.

| Lajos Vajda's work |
An exhibition entitled Lajos Vajda and Contemporary Hungarian Artists opened at the American University Museum, Katzen Arts Center. Lajos Vajda (1908-1941) was one of the most distinctive artists of the Hungarian avant-garde movement. Fusing elements of Byzantine icons, Jewish folk art, and Hungarian vernacular architecture with European avant-garde, Vajda created a unique style, which often conveyed his fears of the impending fascist threat. This first comprehensive survey in the United States includes photomontages, collages, paintings, and monumental charcoal drawings.
