The Art of B\u00e9la Kondor

Dinning with prophets and scratching revolution as a socialist D\u00fcrer, B\u00e9la Kondor is still a legendary artist and is considered as one of the most significant artists of the K\u00e1d\u00e1r era. Based on the legendary and the works left behind, the figure of an \u201euomo universale\u201d, a modern Leonardo da Vinci was outlined in the art history and incommon knowledge. One thing is for sure, Kondor left behind a truly huge graphic material and special paintings as well as inspiring poems and devoted friends. Our exhibition will present nearly a hundred of these artworks with the need of contextualization rather than entirety, through the eye of the revolutionary, the prophet and the worker.
\nKondor probably created his most significant pieces in the field of graphic arts, as he was already called a genius in the time of creating his degree work, and ten years later articles were published about the \u201cKondor School\u201d. His degree work, the D\u00f3zsa-series made in 1956 is a truly mature and complex artwork that was inspired by the epos of Ferenc Juh\u00e1sz, The Lavish Land as well as by the art of D\u00fcrer and Rembrandt, which is also present in the exhibition. Through the etchings of the Scenes from the Times of Gy\u00f6rgy D\u00f3zsa series outlines the revolutionary figure of Kondor who is strongly attracted to the portrayal of chaos, revolutions, wars and technical violence. Besides the Angel of Revolution, such works get place in this section that are less known, like the war correspondence Murder at the Olympic Games in 1972, the infernal scene of the Protesting Women and the unique Auschwitz etching.
\nThe prophet Kondor is more known than the revolutionary one who created spectacular and rich illustrations for the works of William Blake and Imre Mad\u00e1ch. The prophet had his most significant success as a painter with religious topics and biblical paraphrases. His most famous picture is probably the Municipal Picture Gallery\u2019s panel painting, designed as a fresco, the Marching of the Saints, which was originally to decorate the walls of the Commercial Chamber, is not devoid of irony. The most often reproduced gold-based, \u201ciconic\u201d painting the Wasp King is similar, pervaded with irony, turning into grotesque. The artist\u2019s \u201creferences\u201d can also be found in this section, such as D\u00fcrer and the Museum of Fine Arts\u2019 Rembrant and Schongauer etchings as well as pieces by Kondor\u2019s visual and true masters, Jen\u0151 Barcsay and K\u00e1roly Koff\u00e1n, Sr. If the revolution section goes round the apocalypse of violence and irrationality then the prophet intensively examines the conflict between saint and profane, sense and emotion and man and woman through such masterpieces as Savonarola or the Saint Peter and a Woman II.<\/p>\n
