Publicist Tivadar Farkasházy opened up the Miklós Farkasházy Exhibition at the Herend Porcelain Museum

The continuity and fulfilment of his art became interrupted and he was slowly and unfairly forgotten...

On the National Poetry Day was the opening of the Miklós Farkasházy Exhibition at the Herend Porcelain Museum, opened up by Tivadar Farkasházy, the great-great-grandson of Mór Farkasházy Fischer, the craftsman, whose talent and boundless enthusiasm transformed the Herend Porcelain Manufactory into a blooming workshop. Antal Pápai lives today in the Farkasházy's birth house; he is the collector and owner of this collection. Never shown before.

The core of the exhibition are sensational pieces for the pleasure of the friends of 20th century art, the start of Farkasházy's career with colourful decorative tint drawings and pastel works followed by intensive copper engravings besides abstract works of his late period. Farkasházy presented his individual attitude in a very artistic manner on his notably stylised artworks. He had a very ornamental, fruitful and versatile fantasy. In this exhibition we display sculptures of the artist's wife, Mária Gertrúd Donner, who designed for the Herend Porcelain Manufactory as well.

That is why we were born: to reveal us; this motto leads us to believe - though, it is possible to calculate the probabilities of some seemingly improbable event, this is how our expectations agree with reality.

This unique feature is opened until 31th July 2007, happy to receive Visitors daily. Pls take a look at www.museum.herend.com for further information.
