Piroska Futásfalvi Márton (1899-1996) life exhibition

Piroska Futásfalvi Márton (1899-1996) was a founding member of the New Group of Hungarian Women Artists organized in 1931. Her work in the latest art trends of her age also alluding to some that had not arrived in Hungary yet (such as German expressionism) is strongly bound to the sight but the unusual cuts and perspectives, as well as the intense colour scheme, make it quite singular. The classic kinds of European artworks - still-life, portrait, landscape - often overlap in her work, just as the "urban" themes (modern shingled women or double female nudes) alternate quite naturally with rural scenes depicted in Transylvania or around the Balaton.
The exhibition aimed to present her lifework as fully as possible ranges from the oils of the '30s and the complementary watercolours to the semiabstract montages of the last years, all interrelated. There is a supplement of photo documentation showing her place in the far from negligible efforts of (women's) art in the period. The catalogue contains all these aspects.
