Description

Miklós Borsos was a student at the Czuczor Gergely Bencés Gymnasium in Győr. His college admission was unsuccessful at first, and then he traveled to Florence, where he discovered Renaissance art. Although he was admitted to the College of Fine Arts in 1929, he soon set off on a wandering journey to Italy and southern France again.

“Miklós Borsos is the so-called "Pannonian spirit", i.e. a representative of the Latin, old Hungarian culture, his art is related to an artistic approach similar to the poems of Gyula Illyés, the Balaton series of Aurél Bernáth, and the pantheistic period of József Egry” - Lajos Németh writes about him in his book Modern Hungarian Art.

Although Borsos became known as a sculptor, he also worked in medal art, graphics, and painting. The composition of Venezia was made with ink and watercolor on paper. The blue and black spots form a rectangular, latticed window or opening. The dark colors are resolved by white spots, and three blue birds can be discovered in this web.

Miklós Borsos' non-figurative work is exciting because an edited, yet enigmatic form emerges from the azure spots.
