    We are looking for information about an artist who painted murals and/or frescos at Detroit’s Holy Cross Hungarian Church after 1945. Paul? or Andrew(Andreas) Daubner was a member of the World Federation of Hungarian Artists in NY. A book on historic Detroit churches is being prepared. Thanks.

    Dear Mrs. Mes,

    I would like to draw your kind attention to the Hungarian artist Mrs. Éva Bednay who has left Hungary at the beginning of the 1970-ies, wnt to New York and lived there for a few years and settled down in West Germany, in Bonn.

    She is a remarkable, unique artist who prepares silk-collages, oil-pastells and oil paintings. She is going to have a huge exhibition organised by the Hungarian Embassy in the Hague and the Mayor of Wassenaar (The Netherlands) at the beginning of 2009 (January/February). She exhibited many times int he exhibitions of Hungarian artists living abroad which have been held in Budapest (Műcsarnok).

    I would like to suggest to feature her on your website „Displaced Hungarian Artists – a Gallery”.

    I send her CV to you.

    At the same time I can send to you digital photos of some of her artworks.

    Sincerely,

    Dr. István Gyebnár

    Biorgraphie:

    Éva Bednay (Eve B’ay)
    Painter
    (Budapest, May 1. 1927 – )

    (Translated from: www. artportal.hu)

    1946: Hungarian College of Arts and Crafts
    Teachers: Endre Domanovszky, Aladár Kazciány.
    She was Erzsébet Páris’s private student and studied graphics and illustrations from her.

    She lived in New York between 1972 and 1974. From 1974 she worked in Bonn.
    During her study trips she has visited many European countries.
    Since 1989 she has spent more time in Budapest.

    She has developed her distinctive style during the 60’s.
    Her new way of using materials and vibrant colours make her figurative pictures so diverse.
    Additional to oil, she also makes use of Eastern Asian varnishing techniques and various materials, such as plastic, which makes her works even richer.
    She has become recognized with her collage-like creations.
    Her change of style during the 80’s was marked by the usage of silk and oil crayons.
    She uses these techniques to create portraits, nudes and imaginary landscapes.

    Teachers: Endre Domanovszky, Aladár Kacziány, Erzsébet Páris.
