The life and work of Lajos Vajda (1908\u20131941), a pre-eminent creator of Hungary\u2019s 20th-century avant-garde and modern art, are inseparable from Szentendre. The town\u2019s distinctive motifs, its architectural and natural heritage, its hidden treasures and unique atmosphere were an ample source of inspiration for Vajda\u2019s progressive outlook on art. The exhibition entitled Lajos Vajda\u2019s Szentendre connects some of the artist\u2019s works to iconic sights in the town, establishes the links between the artistic motifs and their original sources, and highlights, through the lens of the oeuvre, the history of the town, a rich past that is worth conserving, and its present in the 21st century.
\nLajos Vajda\u2019s relationship to the townscape of Szentendre, its distinctive atmosphere, the local tradition and the various motifs changed continuously: in the early years of his search for his voice, the artist was mainly interested in the \u2018great sights\u2019 of the town, before he went on to examine its built heritage more and more closely, focusing on the specifics: the cemeteries, the small details of the streets of Szam\u00e1rhegy, the quickly fading folk relics. From 1938 on, not a single fragment of the town was to appear in his works. Vajda\u2019s oeuvre is an eminent illustration of the ways of such progression that draws on tradition, the possibility of an avant-garde revival of the past. The exhibition also looks at Vajda\u2019s Szentendre-related motifs in the context of those fellow artists who worked around him, through the works in particular of Dezs\u0151 Korniss and Endre B\u00e1lint.
\nWe demonstrate the stimulating effect and migration of motifs through a particular example in the last room, where we reveal the origin of the dummy figure that developed from representations of Christ in icons and on roadside tin-plate crucifixes, and its sustenance by Szentendre artists between 1968 and 1975, the transformations of its form and meaning.<\/p>\n
