This was what made it possible for him to render Claudel's dualistic worldview, the struggle of Good and Evil, by a distinguishing colour-symbolic representation of the characters of the play: "... In the Claudel illustrations, I achieved the sovereign dominance of colour, there it is form at the service of colour," he said recollecting the making of the watercolours in an autobiography written in the 1930s. Szobotka returned to Hungary during the 1919 revolutions, and he soon joined in with artistic life and became a regular participant at various exhibitions. He was also welcomed in several newly established art societies; being a founding member of the Képzőművészek Új Társasága (KUT, New Society of Artists) in 1924, and receiving the landscape prize awarded by the Szinyei Society in 1929. On the basis of his cubist period, he is a recognized member of the École de Paris; his work was thus included in the comprehensive École de Paris exhibition at the Musée d'art moderne de la Ville Pans in 2000. His Claudel illustrations were displayed at the Hungarian Institute in Paris in the framework of the Hungarian Cultural Year in the spring of 2002. The present exhibition displays the series newly acquisitioned by the Hungarian National Gallery and works made by the artist in the same period. Székelyudvarhelyi kiállítás, 1911 Saint-Brieuc, 1915
