progressive works of the period and mainly in realistic approach, which at the end of the 60s and in the first half of the 70s entirely met the expectations of local population experiencing painting in the street and presenting its results at once, and those of the symposium’s founders and organizers, at the same time kept the symposium on a provincial level. Let us think of the young Hungarian artists creating in the same period, joining progressive international artistic movements (IPARTERV Generation, SZÜRENON Group, neoconstructivists, representatives of lyrical abstraction and minimal art, conceptual artists etc) some of whom managed to be present only in the next period of artists’ symposia. So e.g. works by Mária Lugossy, Zoltán Bohus, Adám Misch, István Nádler, Tibor Csiky, János Fajó, István Haraszti and Antal Lux were included in the symposia’s collection only from 1978, some of them not even directly but as a result of the museum’s supplementary collecting activity, state purchasing or by means of donation after the artist’s one-person show, as well as following their participation in the symposia, asked for as deposits by the Municipal Museum of Art. To come back to the work in the first period, in the early or later material of the collection there is no trace of the activity of Sándor A.

The second creative period can be put between 1976 and 1990, which after a short peiod of reorganization and uniform experimentation with styles resulted in the transformation of the Győr symposium to an international symposium, and regarding the creations made at that time, led to the first period that is really appreciable from artistic point of view. The progressive creative activity of the period mentioned as „great age" on the occasion of the 25-year jubilee unfolded through the work of Budapest artists and the active joining of the artists fresh from the academy who also arrived from Budapest and settled in Győr. Out of them the applied artists Csaba Illés and László Hefter, at the beginning of their careers, differently from their qualifications, were engaged in sculpture. Their ideas of the symposium’s 75
