The Ferenczy Museum Center's latest permanent exhibition series delves into the intricate tapestry of social connections surrounding the renowned avant-garde artist, Béla Czóbel. These connections blossomed amidst the tumultuous changes that characterized European art in the early 20th century.
In 2021, the museum drew a fascinating parallel between Czóbel's work and that of his second wife, Mária Modok. Continuing this thread of continuity, we now have the opportunity to gain insight into the significant professional and personal relationships shared by these two artists. Recollections, interviews, photographs, letters, and rare pieces from esteemed institutions such as the Museum of Fine Arts, the Hungarian National Gallery, the Deák Collection of the Szent István Király Museum in Székesfehérvár, the Rippl-Rónai Museum in Kaposvár, and the Antal-Lustig Collection all contribute to tracing the distinct artistic journeys and intersecting paths of Gábor Klein, András Nagy, András Feuer, and János Haas.
Within the Czóbel Museum, the convergence of artistic paths belonging to the French Nabis and the Fauves group, the "Hungarian Wild-Ones" (Magyar Vadak), and prominent figures from plein-air painting, including József Rippl-Rónai, Károly Kernstok, and Baron Ferenc Hatvany, are presented in a unique manner through capsule exhibitions. These exhibitions showcase the works of notable artists such as Róbert Berény, Margit Gráber, József Egry, István Ilosvai-Varga, János Kmetty, Csaba Perlrott, Piroska Szántó, Lajos Tihanyi, Géza Vörös, and Sándor Ziffer, all of whom held a special place in the lives of the artist couple who shared three decades together.
