Writers and Artists in Aladár Székely’s Studio
The title of this exhibition presenting the oeuvre of photographer Székely Aladár (1870-1940) who was born 150 years ago, cites the poet Endre Ady’s ground-breaking poem published in 1906. The photographer, already living in the capital, meets Ady and the representatives of modern literature, and visits exhibitions and artists’ colonies with a sensitivity to the arts. He sets off on a study tour abroad. He primarily goes to visit progressive German studios and what he sees and feels resonates with the enthusiasm for “new horizons” and “new desires” of Ady’s poem.
