Decades after WWII brought on a lot of changes in interior design. Those were exciting times. The classic modern art called Bauhaus influenced Hungarian 'Art Deco' mixed eclectic art with folkish motifs.

The Museum of Applied Arts presents a large-scale exhibition in the spring of 2012 to review the interior design that was still guided by that of the 1920s, 30s. In addition to the most influental artists of the era, Lajos Kozma, Gyula Kaesz, works by artists who are by now kind of forgotten will also be on display, eg. Zsuzsa Kovács, György Fränkel, György Kóródy, Pál Vágó, Károly Nagy. Most of them are furniture and accessories.

The exhibition is also an occasion for us to provide a comprehensive picture of this bright era of Hungarian applied art, full of international success. Popular artists were then: the ceramic artists István Gádor, Géza Gorka, Margit Kovács, Lili Márkus, Hajnalka Zilzer, the textile artists Éva P. Szabó, István Pekáry, Árpád Vértes, the applied graphic artist Kató Lukács and many other talented artists.

The material of 440 was selected from the museums' own collection, affiliates, as well as private collectors. A richly illustrated catalogue was published to accompany the exhibition, plus a museum pedagogical programme, too.
