CODES/SIGNALS/IMAGES - THE SECRET ART OF THE REVOLUTION OF 1956
On occasion of the 60th anniversary of the 1956 revolution, the @Hungarian National Museum (Magyar Nemzeti Múzeum) calls on a particular group of artworks to present its visual impression, and to recall its most important events, sites, famous or nameless protagonists, either in a documentative or figurative way. The works exhibited include drawings, paintings, graphics series, posters and statuettes. These pieces of art were created in the heat of those fateful days (and later against it), inspired by the following long decades of silence. Even though history has been so far written by the victors, we believe in contemporary witnesses’ recollections, drawings and photographs which outlive and overwrite made-up history. http://hnm.hu/en/exhibitions/codessignalsimages-secret-art-revolution-1956
