First UK retrospective celebrating the influence of Hungarian filmmaker and painter György Kovásznai to be presented in London at Somerset House.
3 March 2016 • Mark Westall
György Kovásznai (1934-1983) was one of the most original artists of the Cold War period. A painter, experimental filmmaker and writer, Kovásznai created colourful canvases and short animated films, which he viewed as a means to ‘animate’ the images he created through his paintings.
