PUBLICATIONS erary circles. The real pilgrimage to Paris started at the end of the 19th century and continued until WWII broke out but even today has perhaps not yet finished. Our poets as well as painters, sculptors and photographers of the period have managed to connect Hungary through their work and exhibitions in Paris with European schools of thoughts and ideas.
