G. Merva Mária - Öriné Nagy Cecília - Benkő Zsuzsanna (szerk.): Remsey Jenő György (1885-1980) festőművész, író emlékkiállítása (Gödöllő, 2010)

ENGLISH RÉSUMÉ

(The Frantic), 1916., A boldogok szigete (The Island of the Blissful), 1982.) and several other works remained in manuscript. His play György barát (Friar György) was performed in the National Theatre of Kolozsvár in 1942. His painterly style also changed in the 1980s, he created his so-called light beam pictures. The light beams apparent on each of the paintings of his new period are the projections of the human soul and a mystical light at the same time. He was able to renew even at the age of 70, in 1957-58 he spent a longer time in Paris and presented his works in solo exhibitions in the French capital. According to Artúr Elek, his most understanding critic, Jenő Remsey was a natural born talent, whose lack of professional training is visible on his pictures and sometimes he made mistakes in drawing, but his elementary, strong talent shines through everywhere nevertheless he was the strongest in depicting robust, monumental themes, his talent blossomed out in these the most. The effect of his flaming, passionately enthusiastic and stunning personality is also detectable in that the artistic practice was continued in his family through generations and he also set many young artists on a career.
