Gyarmati Gabriella: Exhibitions of fine arts and applied arts in the Munkácsy Mihály Museum between 2001 and 2004

Gyarmati Gabriella Exhibitions of fine arts and applied arts in the Munkácsy Mihály Museum between 2001 and 2004 - Gabriella Gyarmati Resume As the fellow worker of the Munkácsy Mihály Museum Department of Fine Arts a significant part of my activity's scope is to carry through - with varying function and scope of duties - the exhibitions of fine arts and applied arts of our institution. In this paper, I undertake taking stock of these programs and looking briefly over the art-exhibitions realized by the Department of General Education in most cases upon the request of Békéscsaba City of County Rank, focusing my attention to the art historical connections in the first place. Since the decisive majority of the exhibitions by the Museum is of fine arts subject it seems fortunate to narrow down my inquiry - merely referring to quantitative reasons - to the period between 2001 and 2004. The unequalness - just like in qualitative point of view - of the texts discussing the particular art-exhibitions represents the personal, professional based relationship well, which of course does not influence the attitude to performing duties. Nevertheless, it is indisputable that the image building intention formed consciously by the exhibitions during series of years appears in the activities conducted by trustee in the cleanest way. Conversely, the orientation of trustee is rather dependent on personality. It would be fine to believe that within the period discussed we succeeded in creating a kind of intellectual medium, perhaps workshop by the choice of art-exhibitions. However, for its sure announcement still a lot of changing shall occur concerning the audience, the local representatives of the fine and applied arts profession as well as the fellow workers of the museum. Consequently, it is keeping us waiting. Gyarmati Gabriella Békés Megyei Múzeumok Igazgatósága H-5600 Békéscsaba, Gyulai út 1. E-mail: gyarmati@bmmi.hu 322
