The Picture Collection of Budapest and the French Institution organizes the exhibition of the artist from Paris: Anna Mark. The exhibition is under the aegis of the Spring Festival. Last year the series that introduced the Hungarian artist living in Paris presented the works of Sándor Hollán. This time the larger relieves of Anna Mark are displayed in the Church of Kiscell; her graphics, gouaches, and books are in the French Institution.

Anna Márkus was born in 1928 in Budapest. In 1956-59 she lived in Germany, and in 1959 she moved to Paris. She studied at the Painter’s department at the Collage of Fine Arts in Budapest. She worked at the National Puppet-show where she first made connection with the artists and masters of the European school. Her paintings can be characterized by abstract and geometric forms with an original surrealist view. The pictures have a fractural effect as well, which were later to be developed on her black and white relieves that were based on the play of light and shadow and were also influenced by architecture. She used a technique that she herself developed.

Other drawings, graphics, and collages are put into another group. The shadows appearing on the relieves are the lines, which also represent the emotional factors.

The works of the artist fist were presented in the Vasarely Museum in Hungary in the eighties. Our exhibition introduces her works made between then and now and a bilingual catalog helps the visitors in the orientation.
