Sydney has launched its first exhibition of Hungarian graphic design in the downtown area, attracting unprecedented interest from Australian and international audiences, writes Mandiner.
The exhibition honors Líviusz Gyulai, a Kossuth- and Munkácsy Prize-winning graphic artist and recently deceased member of the Hungarian Academy of Arts. This unique exhibition is the largest of its kind ever held in Sydney.
At the opening ceremony, Péter B. Nagy, Head of the Sydney Consular Office, highlighted the long-standing friendship between Australia and Hungary. He stated,
this is a meeting of distant cultures in an art form where we have no language difficulties, because we cannot have any.”
He emphasized the importance of culture as a bridge between the two nations and noted that “Líviusz Gyulai has learned to connect peoples through his art, which is particularly necessary in today’s turbulent world.”
Mr. Nagy further emphasized that both Australia and Hungary share the same community of values. He expressed pride in Hungary’s artists, who significantly shaped the artistic landscape of the 19th and 20th centuries.
We look forward to continuing the cooperation between our countries and the existing Australian-Hungarian friendship,” he added, underscoring the recognition both nations deserve in the world of universal culture.
The exhibition was attended by dignitaries, including representatives from the city of Sydney, the state of New South Wales, local politicians, and members of the Hungarian diaspora. Supported by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the exhibition showcases Gyulai’s unique graphic works and will be open until mid-October, providing insight into Hungarian culture for those interested.
