Hungarian artists in Berlin

From the second half of the 19th century, the gates of Europe opened to Hungarian artists. At first, they primarily went to Munich to get familiar with the latest trends. Then from the 20th century, they went to Paris, Berlin and Rome. In the 1920s, Berlin was considered the cultural center of Europe. Artists, life artists and bohemian adventurers from all over the world visited the German capital. The exhibition presents works by Hungarian artists who once lived in Berlin or had exhibitions there. The paintings were made in the German capital, were featured in one of the city’s exhibitions or are otherwise connected to Berlin.
