Asking the Pictures – Miklós Mészöly - Alaine Polcz Collection

Most of the pictures were gifts from such important artists as Endre Bálint, György Jovánovics, Lajos Sváby or Júlia Vajda. The collection not only represents a piece of art history, but also testifies to an intellectual workshop, and to the life-long friendships of artists. Though Miklós Mészöly thought that “life and painting differ hand in hand”, they seem nonetheless to overlap in the case of this collection; they shine through one another, like the visual fragments of memory in Endre Bálint’s art.
