National Gallery Shows Kovásznai Retrospective

György Kovásznai's work

Kovásznai distanced himself from his peers and often refused to exhibit his work when offered the opportunity. Today, his work is appreciated for the artist?s sincere and open-handed manner.

 
The show is organised by the Kovásznai Research Workshop. The curator is Brigitta Iványi-Bitter, whose monograph on Kovásznai was published in the spring.
 
An animated short that revisits a Kovásznai film from 1982 has been showing in Hungarian cinemas since March. The film, entitled Reportrait: Kovásznai 2010, by Igor Lazin and Ferenc Török, pays tribute to Kovásznai?s Reportrait.
