Over the past years we were able to acquire a number of works by artists living in France, among them Vera Molnar. Simultaneously, the idea of an exhibition, centred around the Sz\u00f6ll\u0151si-Nagy\u2013Nemes Collection that encompasses a wide range of Vera Molnar works, came about. Which, we thought, was an opportune moment for debuting the museum\u2019s new acquisitions.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”20″ down=”20″][vc_single_image image=”18773″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=”element_from_fade”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Vera Molnar<\/p>\n Cercle et ligne bri\u00e9e (du cycle Montparnasse d\u2019apr\u00e8s Klee),<\/em>\u00a02007, colored pencils, pencil, paper<\/p>\n Kiscell Museum \u2013 Municipal Gallery<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”20″ down=”20″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1572217708587{margin-top: 25px !important;}”]Not only is Vera Molnar a pivotal figure of contemporary art, but, ironically, a significant precursor to it. Her imagination has been captured by the relationship of the \u2018machine imaginaire,\u2019 a machine replacing the human element, and art as early as the 50s and the 60s. Soon after, she learned how to code and went on with creating computer-generated art, which earned her international recognition and the title of pioneer of computer art. It would, however, be no small feat to pigeonhole her work. Strictly speaking, her oeuvre, too elusive to meet rigid criteria, could neither be labelled concrete nor geometric abstraction. It is not concrete for it runs moderately but steadily counter to the rules of concrete abstraction; nor is she an exponent of geometric abstraction, as instead of shapes, she works with lines. Which then become, at her will, simple geometric shapes.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”20″ down=”20″][vc_single_image image=”18776″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=”element_from_fade”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Vera Molnar<\/p>\n Transformation 15,<\/em>\u00a01975, acrylic on canvas<\/p>\n Sz\u00f6ll\u0151si-Nagy \u2013 Nemes Collection<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”20″ down=”20″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1572217923815{margin-top: 25px !important;}”]As the artist puts it:<\/p>\n le crayon court sur le papier, histoire de ma vie<\/em><\/p>\n the pencil runs on the paper, story of my life <\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”20″ down=”20″][vc_single_image image=”18779″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=”element_from_fade”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Vera Molnar<\/p>\n 1% d\u00e9sordre,<\/em>\u00a01974, screen print<\/p>\n Sz\u00f6ll\u0151si-Nagy \u2013 Nemes Collection<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”5″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1572218038589{margin-top: 25px !important;}”]What makes Vera Molnar\u2019s oeuvre an outstanding artistic achievement is that she is able to use the computer in a humanistic rather than an impersonal, mechanic, or cold way; her works bear all of the marks of the artist\u2019s imagination, creativity, and unquenchable passion for experimenting. The computer, then, neither disposes of nor eliminates the artist \u2013 critical artistic processes are performed in the human mind. It is but a tool overcoming the limits of finite combinations and randomization that facilitates artistic work. The artist is the one who makes the decisions \u2013 and Vera Molnar excels at that.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”20″ down=”20″][vc_single_image image=”18782″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=”element_from_fade”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Vera Molnar<\/p>\n Interruptions No 1,<\/em>\u00a01968, ink on paper<\/p>\n Sz\u00f6ll\u0151si-Nagy \u2013 Nemes Collection<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”20″ down=”20″][vc_single_image image=”18785″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=”element_from_fade”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Vera Molnar<\/p>\n Sfumato noir-argent 1,<\/em>\u00a01979, screen printing on paper<\/p>\n Sz\u00f6ll\u0151si-Nagy \u2013 Nemes Collection<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”20″ down=”20″][vc_single_image image=”18797″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=”element_from_fade”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Vera Molnar<\/p>\n Sfumato noir-argent 2,<\/em>\u00a01979, screen printing on paper<\/p>\n Sz\u00f6ll\u0151si-Nagy \u2013 Nemes-gy\u0171jtem\u00e9ny<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”20″ down=”20″][vc_single_image image=”18791″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=”element_from_fade”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Vera Molnar<\/p>\n Congruence al\u00e9atoire,<\/em>\u00a01973, acrylic on canvas<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”20″ down=”20″][vc_single_image image=”18794″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=”element_from_fade”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Vera Molnar<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”20″ down=”20″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” padding_top=”0″ padding_bottom=”25″][vc_column][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”25″]
