We co-organized the exhibition "Forgotten Oeuvres" together with the Miskolc Gallery. The exhibition presents oeuvres unworthily forgotten in the past. In the fine art category "apprentices" we have shown the oeuvres of Ferenc Várdeák (2003), Dezsõ Meilinger (2005) and Dániel Nyitray (2006).

János Blaskó, the artist who died twenty years ago, is one of the unworthily forgotten artists. His name is hardly ever mentioned in art books, there is only one entry about his art on the internet. His paintings made from the 60's and 70's are the most characteristic works of the era. His art greatly influenced several other artists.

János Blaskó turned away from his atmospheric paintings he was involved with in the 1940-50's and turned towards a stricter compositional system. He often reflected on constructivism and surrealism in his orderly pictures rich in colour. His fine reflections served to emphasise the associational field of the works.

János Blaskó Sr was born in Debrecen on 14 April 1919 and died on 11 March 1988 in Budapest he graduated from Arts Collage in 1942 as the student of Rezső Burghardt and Oszkár Glatz. His teacher and painter career unfolded after 1945. For decades, he was the senoiur lecturer of the Training Collage of Eger.

He held his first one-man exhibition in 1947. He won several prizes, eg. The Town of Milan Prize 1965, The Arts Prize of the Council of Heves County 1973; 1st Prize at the Aquarelle Biennale in Eger, 1974 The Prize of the Council of the Town of Salgótarján, 1974, "Sorsforduló" Prize, Eger, 1977. His artworks can be found in public and private collections in Budapest, Debrecen, Eger, Balassagyarmat, Debrecen, Milan, Florence stb.

His most important one-man exhibitions were held in Szilvásvárad (1963), Verpelét, Gyöngyös (1967), Eger (1967, 1969, 1974), Debrecen, Balassagyarmat (1975). In 1977, his artworks were shown in the framework of a collective exhibition. Abroad, he often took part in collective exhibitions, eg. Milan, 1965; International Painting Biennale, Florence, 1972; Socialist Countries National Painting Biennale, Kassa, 1973).

Most of his oeuvre is to be found at relatives. His artworks were not shown in the past thirty years. Collecting and showing the heritage helps in the revaluation of the 1960's.
