WORKSHOP
is a new educational feature on First European Shippings website
that focuses on Hungarian art, design, applied arts and architecture
of the late nineteenth and early 20th centuries. Topics include
avant-garde painters as well as applied arts such as ceramics, mosaics
and stained glass and new essays with photographs will be added
each month.
While Hungarian artists and designers have historically created
works similar to their Western European counterparts, they tend
to be less well-known - and therefore under-valued - outside of
Hungary. To know the historic reasons for the evolution of various
styles, to comprehend the social milieu of a certain period, and
to learn about the development of certain materials that made new
styles and new modes of visual expression possible, all contribute
to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the fine and applied
arts of Hungary during this time.
