The Kálmán Makláry Fine Arts Gallery is celebrating the centenary of one of the most defining art movements - Surrealism, with a unique group exhibition. The exhibition titled 'Dreamed of a world for themselves - Hungarian artists in the 100-year history of Surrealism' is a selection from the collection of Kálmán Makláry. It commemorates those artists who, as Hungarians, but in a foreign land, preserved their Hungarianness and created their works as part of universal Surrealism. The Surrealist movement began in 1924 with André Breton's writing The Manifesto of Surrealism, in which he defined the essential features and methods of the movement, and was joined by artists such as Max Ernst, Salvador Dali and René Magritte. Artists longing for freedom left their homeland moving in Paris or in other areas of France, where they connected to the Surrealist movement. There through direct spiritual or material influences they created a part of their oeuvre in their unique interpretation. The exhibition of the KMFA Gallery presents key works, whose counterparts enrich the collection of the Pompidou Center and are currently featured in the museum's large-scale exhibition, which opened on September 4. The paintings, graphics and sculptures of artists such - Judit Reigl, Simon Hantai, Tibor Csernus, István Sándorfi, Klausz Ernst, Tibor Dengyel, Gábor Peterdi, Paul Kallos, Géza Szóbel, Anton Prinner, László Méhes, Böhm Lipót, Henri Nouveau, Étienne Beöthy, Étienne Hajdu, Lajos Barta, Agathe Vaito, László Szabó, and Katalin Sylveszter - offer admission to the world full of imagination and beyond reality that they have dreamed of.
