Hungarian Fauves Draws a Hundred Thousand in France

English

 

The exhibition showed at the Musée d'Art Moderne in Céret, the Musée Matisse in Le Cateau-Cambrésis, which is the birthplace of Henri Matisse, and the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Dijon. At the last venue, the Hungarian works were displayed with paintings by Matisse, Derain, Vlaminck, Marquet, Manguin, Dufy and Van Dongen in a show called La leçon de Matisse.

 
The exhibition, which enjoyed the support of the French Culture Ministry, included works by István Csók, who incorporated elements of Hungarian folklore into his paintings; József Rippl-Rónai, a predecessor to the Hungarian Fauves; Róbert Berény; Béla Czóbel; Csaba Vilmos Perlrott; and Sándor Ziffer.
 
The publisher Adam Biró has put out a new French language catalogue of the exhibition.
