Róbert Nátyi The relationship of two graphics from Szeged, György Buday and Endre Vadász The relationship of two graphics from Szeged, György Buday and Endre Vadász Róbert Nátyi The professional relationship between two of the most significant modern graphic artists from Szeged, Gyógy Buday (1907-1990) and Endre Vadász (1901-1944) did not form during their youth spent in the town. This can be dated to a later time, to the 30s’, when they both were on the forefront of domestic duplicating and modern book art related efforts. Their activity at that time is related to the "First Golden Age” of Hungarian graphics. Both of them acted as school founding masters in their respective circles - in two major graphic arts center in Debrecen and Szeged; their independent, unique style elevated their art to a leading position in their inner circle. In addition to their consistent artistic program, high degree of mastery over their chosen technique and their active engagement in art organizing and public affairs, they deliberately weaved the artistic groups of the two towns together by making use of their personal connections, by exchanging exhibitions, publishing promotional materials and organizing lectures. So far, profession literature has not devoted enough attention to the affect they had on one another, specifically: what manner of professional contact formed between them during their professional careers. By analyzing their art and their correspondence, the objective of the present study is to get a mode detailed overview of this topic. 420
