Emőke Bodonyi A SMALL TOWN ALONG THE DANUBE DISCOVERED In the Attraction of Traditions and Exploring the Possibilities in Szentendre Art between 1921-1935 (Summary) Emőke Bodonyi investigates the history of the establishment of the artistic colony in Szentendre and analyses the importance of the study tours of the founders in Nagybánya and in Paris. She also discusses the characteristic features of the landscape painting in the period as well as the influence of the Neoclassicism and Novecento on the works of the colony's artists. The investigated interval of the artistic life in Szentendre can be basically divided into three main periods. Between 1921-1926 is the period of Tibor Boromisza’s first stay in Szentendre with the intention of founding an artists' colony. Artists arriving at that time at his call were not forming a group yet (Vilmos Soós Szamosi, Viktor Erdei, Bertalan Kubinyi, Dezső Tipary, Bálint Sárospataky). They lived and worked in different places in the town. There were a few visiting artists as well (János Kmetty, Vilmos Csaba Perlrott, Margit Gräber), who during the early 1920's dedicated a few artworks to Szentendre, but were more closely connected to the town only later, especially in the 1930's. Between 1926-1929 is the period of the foundation and organization of the colony itself. Eight students of István Réti, a professor at the University of Fine Arts in Budapest, arrived to the town with the intension of settling down - since they had no studio and other work possibilities. The founders (József Bánáti Sverák, Miklós Bánovszky, Henrik Heintz, Ernő Jeges, Béla Onódi, Jenő Paizs Goebel, Lajos Pándy, and László Rozgonyi) formed a close group with a common purpose of trying to substitute Nagybánya - a famous former art centre and colony that was taken away with the Trianon Treaty of 1920 (today Baia Mare in Romania) - with Szentendre. Between 1926-1935 an increasing number of artists were staying and working in the colony. Their colorful art attracted artists from all over the country visiting them under the influence of the picturesque small town. Two basic, parallel existing stylistic trends were present in Szentendre in this period: traditions of Nagybánya living on with a touch of the Fauves, and a composition under Cézanne's influence, and the re-interpretation of the classicizing tendencies. 29
