The parallel careers pointed to by the exhibition, Magic Circle, outline Cz\u00f3bel\u2019s social and intellectual milieu, and his role as a catalyst in early 20th-century Hungarian modernism. They indicate the enduring timeliness of a painting that was bold and provocative, and whose point of departure was the foundations of reality, while it never headed for what was fashionable: abstraction. The artistic context of Cz\u00f3bel\u2019s varied career can be followed through different sets of paintings by artists like Jen\u0151 Maticska of Nagyb\u00e1nya, who died prematurely, the great predecessor who had visited Paris, J\u00f3zsef Rippl-R\u00f3nai, and the young ones: Ervin K\u00f6rmendi Frim, Margit Gr\u00e1ber, Vilmos Perlrott-Csaba, Tibor Boromisza, S\u00e1ndor Ziffer and G\u00e9za V\u00f6r\u00f6s; as well as R\u00f3bert Ber\u00e9ny, Dezs\u0151 Czig\u00e1ny, K\u00e1roly Kernstok, \u00d6d\u00f6n M\u00e1rffy, Dezs\u0151 Orb\u00e1n, who were all members of The Eight. In the person of his second wife, M\u00e1ria Modok, who also worked in Nagyb\u00e1nya, Szentendre and Paris, a Szentendre artist is added to complement this overview of the phases of Cz\u00f3bel\u2019s career. The couple share a section, with all the works coming from our collection.
\nHis patrons, who remained his friends throughout his life, contributed greatly to the painter\u2019s success, which continues to this day. We collaborated with several museums and private collectors as we prepared for this exhibition. Works have been lent by the National Museum Szczecin, the Museum of Fine Arts \u2013 Hungarian National Gallery, the De\u00e1k Collection of the King Stephen Museum in Sz\u00e9kesfeh\u00e9rv\u00e1r, the Rippl-R\u00f3nai Museum in Kaposv\u00e1r, Vir\u00e1g Judit Gallery, Kieselbach Gallery, L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Csire, J\u00e1nos Egri, L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Erd\u00e9sz, Andr\u00e1s Feuer, Kinga Germ\u00e1n, J\u00e1nos Haas, Andr\u00e1s Nagy, Gabriella Nagy (from the estate of Mimi Kratochwill), Bal\u00e1zs Srank\u00f3, Zs\u00f3fia Nikoletti and Viktor Menschikof. The both of Hungarian collectors with the most works by Cz\u00f3bel, P\u00e9ter Antal \u00e9s G\u00e1bor Klein helped to realize this exhibition through continuous collection work and search for sources. This extensive volume also contains studies that apply new perspectives and research findings to the lessons of the two Cz\u00f3bel exhibitions we presented over the past four years (Two Palettes; Palettes), revealing depths in the work of B\u00e9la Cz\u00f3bel, and his relationship to his wife, M\u00e1ria Modok, K\u00e1roly Kernstok and Ferenc Hatvany. The printed catalogue, wich made with financial contribution of Klein G\u00e1bor, includes Mimi Kratochwill\u2019s last study on Cz\u00f3bel, honours not only the distinguished art historian, but the 50th anniversary as well of the opening of the Cz\u00f3bel Museum in 1975, which she was instrumental in creating.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
