Bodonyi Emőke: Emlék-képek Szentendréről. Válogatás Nagy János magánggyűjteményéből, 2013. február 22 - május 20., MűvészetMalom Modern és Kortárs Művészeti Központ - Ferenczy Múzeum kiadványai, D. sorozat: Múzeumi füzetek - Kiállításvezetők 1. (Szentendre, 2013)

The paintings of Béla Ónodi (1900-1991) and Miklós Bánovszky (1895-1995) are the basis of the collection. The collector was in close friendship with both of them, who were representing - with others - the different faces of the town and the surrounding landscape. Szentendre was in the 1920—30s a major centre for landscape painting with an increasing number of artists coming to the town. Among the first was Mária Modok (1896-1971), whose early Nagybánya-style composition already represented a Szentendre subject and is an important piece of the collection. (View of the Donkey Hill in Szentendre, 1929).

On the emblematic painting of the colony's first decade, the optimistic and joyous Toast of Ernő Jeges (1898-1956) painted around 1930, from among the founders József Bánáti Sverák, László Rozgonyi, Ernő Jeges and Béla Ónodi appear. The winter cityscape of József Bánáti Sverák (1897— 1951), a rarity in Szentendre painting also became part of the collection (Révész Street with Donkey Hill in Winter, around 1940).

The Self-portrait in Black Hat by László Rozgonyi (1894-1948) painted around 1926 is representing the mission with romantic highlight of the painter generation starting in the 1920s. His picture of Saint Elisabeth of the Árpád dynasty (1931) is a well-known piece of that group of works the birth of which reveals the stylistic pursuit of the colony members at the beginning of the thirties, the influence of Italian oriented classicising.
