Birkás Ákos, one of the emblematic figures of contemporary Hungarian art was born in 1941. A significant change occurred in his oeuvre that sheds a different light on his past works. The large-scale exhibition of the museum shows the earlier works in this sense. After the expressive portraits he painted in the 60's, Birkás Ákos began to paint hyperrealist pictures in the 70's. he did researches with the help of photography from the relation of artwork and environment and artwork and recipient. He dealt with picture as object and role while he made series of photo portraits too.
