English Summary

be seen on two of his paintigs: Resting Herd on Hortobágy (Delelő gulya a Hortobágyon) and Rangeman (Csikós). Déri, Kálmán's (1850—1940) painting entitled Still-Life (Csendélet) shows the influence of the Munnich school. Révész, Imre (1859—1945) studied in Wien. Later he became the leader of the colony of artists in Kecskemét. His two realistic paintings are: Peasant Boy (Parasztfiú) (1893) and Old Polish Peasant (öreg lengyel paraszt). Hegedűs, László's (1870—1911) painting entitled „If every slave people ..." has a historical theme. Our greatest sculptor in the 19th century is Izsó Miklós (1831—1875). His statuette entitled Leveret is a valuable relic because of his outstanding work, the statue of Csokonai in Debrecen. Sennyei, Károly (1854—1919) is the follower of the sculpture in Neo-Baroque style. This can be seen well on his bronze statue entitled Kurutz Warrior with a Horn (Kürtös kuruc vitéz). Stróbl Alajos (1856—1926) is a sculptor of the eclectic style. In the world exhibition in Paris (1900) he was awarded the Grand Prix. His marble statue is: Déri, Frigyes (fig. 27.). Pásztor, János (1881—1945), the creator of a number of statues standing in public squares, studied in Paris. His first success was a wooden statue: Farewell. The major part of the works shown here come from the Déri-collection exhibited in 1930. This as enriched with works gained by the town of Debrecen, later by Thaly, Kálmán, the M. P.of the Independent Party of the town, and by the chance purchase of the museum and by the state deposits. Among the advisers of the founder of the museum, Pisztel, Marian, the Polish ex-secretary of the Rotschild family, played a valuable role. Later he settled down in Sopron. The abilities of the architects of the museum (Györgyi, Dénes 1886—1961 and Münnich, Aladár 1890—) are truly proved by the whole of the proportional, well-divided, eclectical building built from 1926 to 1928. Evaluating arts we emphasised their role in forming consciousness in our days. The above mentioned facts can be completed with the motto shining on the frontage of the museum: ARS LONGA VITA BREVIS EST.
