Lovász-AHF museum opens Würtz retrospective NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ — The American Hungarian Foundation is presenting a major retrospective exhibition honoring Hungarian painter and graphic artist Ádám Würtz from now until May 26 at its Hungarian Heritage Center, 300 Somerset St., New Brunswick. The exhibition is part of the Foundation’s Anniversary Series being conducted in honor of the Foundation’s 40th anniversary. Over the course of his career, Mr. Würtz has won an impressive array of international awards and is represented in major museums around the world, including the Hermitage, Pushkin Museum, Gutenberg Museum, Modern Museum in Sao Paulo and, more recently, such institutions as the New York Public Library. His reputation in Europe as a painter and graphic artist has been secure for many years, but it was not until November 1979 that his work was introduced in the United States. Since then he has been honored by numerous gallery and museum exhibits around the country, including three highly successful shows at New York’s prestigious Hammer Galleries. Americans immediately took to the spontaneity, humor and humanism in his work, and, in less than a year, Mr. Würtz became a commercial as well as artistic success in this country. The Würtz exhibition opened March 26 with a special reception at the Hungarian Heritage Center. The reception featured a recital by the artist’s daughter, Klára Würtz, a prize-winning concert pianist. The opening of the Würtz exhibition followed another successful exhibition at the Center, featuring three paintings by the great Hungarian painter Mihály Munkácsy. (For more on the life and work of Mihály Munkácsy, see this month’s "Magyar Nyelv!” section on Page 9.) The Würtz exhibit can be viewed during regular musuem hours: Tuesdays through Saturdays from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00p.m. and Sundays from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Week to honor volunteer spirit of fraternal societies Continued from Page 1 societies donated more than $5 million to Habitat for Humanity. Since 1991, fraternalists have built 170 homes and donated 70,000 days to Habitat. In 1994, NFCA societies dedicated themselves to funding a park for a 200-home Habitat for Humanity project in Phoenix and donated $125,000 toward that goal. This year, Jubilee Ministries in Washington, D.C., will be the beneficiary of a strong fund-raising effort. In addition, fraternal benefit societies maintain one of the world’s largest private systems of scholarships and educational support. NFCA member societies provided $17 million in 1993 to students and educational institutions. The members of our Association and other fraternal societies can be proud of their record of volunteer service. During Fraternal Week, we urge all members to spread the word about the good work fraternals do and celebrate this special week by participating in local charitable and community service projects.
