Berlin as a stage for Hungarian artists

Some of the Hungarian artists who lived in Berlin in the 1920s are still well-known today. First and foremost László Moholy-Nagy, Éva Besnyő and the designer and architect Marcel Breuer. After its secession from Austria in 1918, Hungary again experienced war instead of a prosperous future. After the Hungarian-Romanian War, the country had to cede two thirds of its territories. Berlin, as a growing art metropolis, was therefore very popular with Hungarian artists in exile. In retrospect, they significantly developed modern art and the city's art scene. The Berlinische Galerie now pays comprehensive tribute to the Hungarian impulses for the first time with the exhibition Magyar Modern. Hungarian Art in Berlin 1910-1933. The works of well-known and unknown artists can be seen from 4 November to 6 February.

Magyar Modern was created in cooperation with the Hungarian National Gallery in Budapest. In addition to the artists mentioned above, Hugó Scheiber, Lajos Kassák, György Kepes, Gyula Pap and Vjera Biller are also exhibited.
