Museum Shows Sculptures by Márta Pán

English

Pán's works are displayed one after the other in the impressive Renaissance and Baroque Hall on the ground floor - a rarity for the museum. The exhibition extends to the first floor, among the paintings by the museum's German and Flemish masters. Just one small room is dedicated solely to Pán's wooden models.

 
Walking among Páns works is like being in a dream city where gravity does not pull one downward, but lifts one up. Her sculptures radiate perfection, like survivors of the loss of the sense of beauty. Indeed, this kind of heroism has disappeared with the devaluation of modern art. We know now that man does not shape the world, rather robs it and destroys it.
 

Pán builds pure geometry from organic forms, but she always leaves out a small something which prevents the work from being elevated entirely above the natural.

 
Pán's sculptures are "built upon the "dialogue" between architecture and plastic art [and] demonstrate their power to redefine interior space," the Museum of Fine Arts says on its website.
