Júlia Bartha Folk art in county Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok in the past and present The term 'folk art' only appeared in the beginning of the 20 t h century, as well as the word 'applied art'. Decorative art was used before by the sources, but this phrase is not really complete, because it only emphasizes the ornaments but not the forms. The question of Hungarian folk decorative art comes up in the last third of the 19 t h century regarding the furdressers' embroidery, the embroidery of the long shepherds' felt cloaks, the Szeklers' gates and the pottery traditions, the phenomenon was discovered by József Huszka. He created the concept of Hungarian ornamentation, and influenced the direction of the evaluation of the Hungarian decorative art for a long time thanks to his amazing fancy and prestige. The geographical basis of our county determines its folk art too. The landscape environment of the dense sallygardens along the river Tisza, the Cumanian steppes covered with meadow plants and the horticulture of Jazygia and the Tiszazug evolved the differentiated folk art of the county. The less complex society of the settlements along the Tisza, the fishing and gathering, the grazing tied the people more to the nature, so the folk art too. The people of the Jazygian and Cumanian settlements lived in more differentiated society especially after the peasant-citizen development of the Redemption, they engaged in diversified farming and trade, where the local conditions were only indirectly effective. The livestock keeping in Jazygia and Cumania resulted the industrylike leather processing and conduced to the blooming of skindressers', fur-dressers' and boot-makers' crafts. Important folk art centres were developed in our county. Goods made in one centre sometimes spread throughout the county (e.g. pottery from Mezőtúr), or in other cases craftsmen worked only for a small region in uniformed style, a good example for this is the Cumanian fur-coat. The costume, the wooden grave-posts and cemetery crosses were characteristic of the communities, or were specific to the classes within the communities. This study presents the history and the changing of the folk art of county Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok, and shows its contemporary state. In fact, the study tries to present the stages in the 20th century and outlines the current conditions. » 47 «
