20th-Century Art up to 1945
This exhibition, which opened in 2002, surveys the most important trends in the fine arts in Hungary from the generation that founded the Nagybánya artists’ colony in the 1890s (Simon Hollósy, Károly Ferenczy) to the mid-1940s. In line with a new method of arrangement, works are not displayed in strict chronological order; each room is an independent unit in its own right. The work of the most important artists (József Rippl-Rónai, Tivadar Csontváry Kosztka, Ferenc Medgyessy, Róbert Berény, Gyula Derkovits) and groups of artists (the Eight, the Activists, the ‘Rome School’, the Gresham Circle) is presented by means of material that is continually changed. In the passages running parallel with the rooms housing the paintings and the larger pieces of sculpture there are works that are smaller in scale and more intimate in effect (paintings, prints and drawings, small sculptures and medals).
