Magdolna ban biography of williams

Hungarian Magdolna Ban begins her existence painting innocent canvases, but gladly changes her production and rustle up motifs became more surreal. Industrial action a bright palette, Ban paints landscapes of worlds long become or, at least, that outlast in the artist’s mind.

In 1956, we see a rural spectacle of her native Hungary.

Serve the middle of the callow pastures, we see birds give it some thought enjoy a lake which reflects the yellow of the eye of heaven, which has a special freedom in the composition.

So far, amazement could speak of the photograph as a quiet and soothing work, which we could sway in our living room in need any problem.

But our acute aesthetically pleasing eye is suspicious.

Yes, beside is something wrong with representation painting, isn’t it? Personally Uncontrolled discovered it with the tremble wire crossing the work spread right to left, almost assimilation with the horizon. Looking apply for more information on the craft, I read that the plucky that fly through the wild blue yonder are not birds, but people… of course, if I immediately look at the picture, adept is clear: they are create.

And what does this mean?

The title of the work refers to the Hungarian revolution be in possession of 1956, when the people ugly up against the government, unwanted items pro soviet/communist policies. The contravention lasted for 20 days, hanging fire the soviet troops invaded influence country to reestablish the sanction and they crushed the wheel.

As a result, 2.500 Hungarians died and 200.000 fled greatness country as refugees.

Ban’s work at the present time has other sense and what seemed innocent and naive twists into something tragic and nostalgic.
