Memorial exhibition from the works of sculptor István Bors and applied artist Márta Honty

Márta Honty and István Bors worked in a field that is situated along the boundary between two branches of arts. Both of them graduated from the Hungarian College of Fine Arts: having majored in decorative sculpture, István Bors finished his studies in 1961, while Márta Honty majored in textile arts and graduated in 1963. They both started their career in the field of applied arts and, by shifting their interest in the direction of fine arts, they eventually created a unique synthesis of these two fields. In the genres they have contributed to, namely in textile arts and enamel arts as well as in their efforts to turn peasant handcrafted objects into autonomous plastics, they have created a unique artistic language of their own. Márta Honty’s lifework reinterprets our forebear’s traditions: starting from the microcosm she has created a fully developed macrocosm; while István Bors’ heavily moralising system of signs analyses the relationship between man and society.
