The exhibition provides a window into the artist’s life, his muses, his passions, and his achievements.
Art Nouveau Posters Exhibition
Until October 5
The exhibition shows the best years of Hungarian poster art. This happened between the 1800s and 1900s in the style of Art Nouveau.
It has about 120 posters. Some are by famous painters like József Rippl-Rónai, János Vaszary, and Károly Ferenczy. Others are by artists who focused on posters, like Géza Faragó, Mihály Biró, Ferenc Helbing and Márton Tuszkay.
The exhibition also puts Hungarian poster art history in an international context. It includes works by poster greats like Alphonse Mucha, Gustav Klimt, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Koloman Moser and others. This shows how the art form began in Hungary compared to other countries.
