Hungarian Art 1956-1980 - Cold War Era Paintings & Sculptures | Home Decor & Office Wall Art

As the shortlived revolution of 1956 gave way to oppressive communist rule, artists of the neo-avant-garde found themselves increasingly isolated, their work condemned not only by the authorities but also by a largely conservative public. By focusing on the social and political circumstances unique to Hungary at the time, this book provides an unrivalled analysis of the ways in which the neo-avant-garde practised within a system – of doublespeak and more – that was determined to deny them their autonomy.
