The Contents of a DrawerJenő Gadányi's writings, reviews, newspaper articles on art events from 1920

"In the studio's large chest of drawers old magazines, art publications, newspaper articles, manuscripts and notes on sheets of paper were lying in a jumbled mess. It took a long time to go through them. Why had Gadányi collected them?

I began to browse. Page by page, my interest grew. It took me days to read everything down to the last letter. I pieced together the newspaper articles and articles in chronological order, until I had a very interesting and valuable collection of fine art documentation from the 1920s onwards...

In order not to let all this go to waste, I have tried to bring the publications together and at the same time to publish some of Gadányi's artistic writings, because - with very few exceptions - they have not yet been published."

(Introduction to the book by Jenő Gadányi, the artist's widow, written well before this  publication in January 1975.)

The artist's grandsons, Péter Rainer and Pál Rainer have been of inestimable merit in the production of the book.
