Shadow on Stone – The Art of Lili Ország (1926–1978)

The exhibition "Shadow on Stone", comprising more than 300 works, illustrates the development of Lili Ország’s artistic approach through analogies selected from Hungarian and foreign art, by artists such as Endre Bálint and Lajos Vajda, Paul Delvaux, Giorgio de Chirico, Vieira da Silva, Toyen, and Zoltan Kemeny.
According to Lili Ország’s original concept is containing the artist’s Labyrinth series of more than fifty compositions, which was not displayed in this completeness even at the 1980 Lili Ország memorial exhibition. 

The exhibition also aims to provide a glimpse into Lili Ország’s life through photographs and documents relating to her travels, as well as letters and snapshots of her friends, masters (Miklós Róbert, Endre Bálint, János Pilinszky), and the first collectors of her art (István Rácz and Ernő Kolozsváry).

The show will be accompanied by a representative catalogue, exploring the different periods of Lili Ország’s art in essays by prominent authors, and illustrated by previously unpublished documentary photographs and almost two hundred and fifty reproductions of artworks.
