In the Atelier of Tibor Csernus – selection from the KOGART Collection

1 September 2012 - 6 January 2013

Tornyai János Museum and Community Center

Hódmezővásárhely

Hódmezővásárhely, a city with long cultural tradition celebrates the reopening of the newly reconstructed Tornyai Janos Museum with a large-scale exhibition of the painter Tibor Csernus.

Nearly one hundred paintings and graphic works, selected from the KOGART collection are presenting the unique oeuvre and the always changing style of the painter. Several pastels, watercolors and charcoal drawings as well as compositional sketches and figure studies give us an insight into the technical virtuosity based painting method, into the preparation process of oil paintings.

Most of the works are part of the estate, which were brought to Hungary in 2009 by the Kovacs Gabor Art Foundation. Some of the relics of the legendary Paris studio (Bateau Lavoir) are also exhibited.
