the Degenerate Art II Its predecessor was the Munich exhibition of the same name in 1937, which was created at that time by order of Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, with the aim of depicting and ridiculing the doctrines of the first third of the twentieth century. Art which, in terms of its aesthetics, did not suit the National Socialists, was disseminated in a humanistic image and ultimately destined for destruction.
All is not well
Naturally, no one wants to destroy the materials of the exhibition that opened on Thursday at the Godot Gallery in Bartok Bila Haute. However, a comparison can be made between the event that occurred 87 years ago and today, as… Degenerate Art II Its artists also create on the margins or outside the formal canon.
For example, Dr. Marías, whose iconic painting can be seen in the gallery hall of gallery owner and curator Gabor Kozak, was mentioned by the Wall Street Journal. Image title:
Giorgi Matolksi sings a funky song in Russo's studio.
Matulsi has been president of the National Bank since 2013, after previously serving as Minister of Economy in Viktor Orbán's government. The title of the painting, according to the Wall Street Journal, refers to the central bank president’s penchant for describing his financial policies as unconventional and unusual.
The painting depicts Matolksi singing, while a cat on his arm reverently watches its owner. In the style of classic photographs, in the background you can see a landscape with acacia trees, the most Hungarian trees in the Hungarian countryside, or, if you like, the plants of Hungary. An empty village in the distance, Dr. Marias told the Wall Street Journal, is all indicative of that “All is not well“.
The painting dates back to the nineteenth century. It evokes the naive, childish and somewhat primitive Post-Impressionist style of the 19th century French painter Henri Rousseau.
Rousseau loved to depict his characters in jungle environments and big cats – Lions, tigers and leopards – In his company.
It depicts world leaders
As Dr. Marias said in the quoted article, this is the painting “It depicts the world in a different way than usual, with devices of humour, irony, and eccentricity, which is absolutely necessary for one to somehow survive the sometimes frenetic alternation of regimes and paths in this corner of Europe.
The artist draws the bank president in the form of a Turkish merchant wearing a red fez and a large ring on his finger. The painting is Virteglie Dr. Marias, in the artist's absurdist style, and its essence is the depiction of world leaders, from the Pope to presidents of republics, prime ministers and bank presidents, because they have an unnatural influence.
Politics permeates and interweaves Hungarian daily life so deeply that today's politicians are our saints and rock stars.
Dr. Marias says.
