HOMMAGE ‘A ALBERS

Since 1990, the resulting paintings have been exhibited several times in various cities to the public interested in geometric and non-figurative art. In the spring exhibition of the Modern Art Gallery - László Vass Collection, five Hungarian painters, Barna Benedek, István Halmi - Horváth, Károly Szelényi, Bertalan Varga and András Wolsky, will present works reflecting the art of Josef Albers. What the exhibited paintings have in common is that they use their own artistic means to express the potential of the duality inherent in the themes of homage to Albers and homage to the square. Josef Albers /1888 -1976/ was born in Bottrop, Germany, in Veszprém's twin town, and became one of the most important exponents of modern geometric art and a renowned teacher of art history and colour studies.

The exhibition opened on 27 April 2024 at 11.00 am in the Modern Art Gallery - László Vass Collection. The exhibition was opened by Zsolt Mészáros, art historian and colleague of the Petőfi Literary Museum. The exhibition will be open until 25 August 2024.
