Katalin Gellér: The art colony of Gödöllő 1901-1920 (Gödöllő, 2001)

Ödön Moiret: Led a/ bronze, 1910 Exhibition in Vienna in 1910. Similarly to his genres taken from the Hungarian past, his monumental works also visual­ized a never-has-been historical time in decorative composi­tions based on the unified force of line and planar surface (House of Parliament, 1902). After Mihály Kovács and Viktor Madarász, Körösfői-Kriesch also rendered the tragic story of Klára Zách in two large-size paintings (1911). The combined influence of Walter Crane and Botticelli is obvious in the com­position of the scene of seduction presented in the play of sen­sitive and gently undulating lines. A favourite theme of the Gödöllő artists, "hunting the mirac­ulous stag", appeared first in 1897. It was later chosen for a secco in the House of Parliament by Körösfői-Kriesch [Attila Rescues Buda, 1902). Following the example of the poet János Arany, they interpreted the Myth of Origin, the story of the Huns as a mythical happening. Nearly everyone in the colony addressed themselves to the theme: István Zichy rendered it in a lithograph (1905), Sándor Nagy in sgraffito, Körösfői­Kriesch in graphics and a painting, Jenő György Remsey in a tapestry (1910), Mariska Undi in tapestries and graphic works, Ferenc Sidló in a sculpture. The story of Attila was of similar importance: Körösfői-Kriesch rendered this topic, which came into vogue in the 19th century, in mosaics [The Sword of God, The Siege ofAquiela, 1908), Sándor Nagy Rezső Mihály: Tristan and Isolde/ink, pen, watercolour on paper, around 1910
