RÉSUMÉ Antal Tóth: The Relationship of the Szentendre Painters' Society, the Artist Visitors of the Town, the Participants of the Free School and the Painters of Szentendre to Other Art Societies between 1926 and 1935 In the first part of the period between the two world wars, in the course of the 1920s we can observe an interesting social-historical phenomenon: the extraordinarily frequent establishing of social organizations, which surpassed both the earlier and the later experiences. This social trend, which has been neither studied nor evaluated satisfactorily up to this day, involved the Hungarian society's aptitude and readiness for self-organizations, struggling in the decay following the World War I and the revolutions, which ruined the former classical superstructure of the society. The process, which involved all the layers of society influenced the artist as well, who established about 50 organizations from those of national competence to small local ones. From among the artists' colonies the Szentendre Painters' Society (1928) became the starting-point of the "colony-movement". This "movement" took its ideological incentive and moral motive from the example of Nagybánya, and followed the practice of Nagybánya in its yearly or daily curriculum in Szentendre even in the 1930s. Between 1911 and 1914 the Nagybánya Free School was visited by Béla Apáti Abkarovics, Antal Deli, Jenő Remsey and Mária Lehel as pupils. Vilmos Csaba Perlrott and Tibor Boromisza worked independently outside the school. Lajos Pándi, László Rozgonyi, Miklós Bánovszky, Jenő Paizs Goebel, Béla Onódi, Margit Gráber etc. studied at the free school between 1914 and 1918. Just in 1919 Vilmos Csaba Perlrott, Margit Gráber, Béla Onódi, Jenő Paizs Goebel, Dénes Rudolf Diener and János Kmetty were staying at the Kecskemét Artists' Colony, which originated from the Colony of Nagybánya. As for the legal status of artists' colonies it is an interesting fact that the College administration recorded students' colonies organized independently of the college, while for example in case of the successful holidays spent in Bicske in 1921 with the participation of Antal Deli, Ernő Jeges, Lajos Parobek and Lajos Pándi on the invitation of Count Gyula Batthyány were acknowledged by the College as a colony of her own, as well as the one in Szentendre in 1926. By the end of the summer in 1934 the Szentendre Artists' Colony was opened to visitors of all kinds. With this opening they created the most interesting and exciting period of the history of the artists' colony and that of our local history of culture, which resulted in a coloured multiplicity. The plein-air painters' school was opened on June 1 1929, and it worked even in the summer of 1934, so during five seasons altogether. The num21
