Description
Spectacular colour spaces
Hungarian painter Ilona Keserü celebrated her 90th birthday in 2023. With a career spanning seven decades, she is one of the most important abstract artists of the postwar period, to whom this first comprehensive monograph is dedicated. Keserü's painting combines elements of Hungarian folk culture with motifs from European modernism. With an organic-abstract style in bold colors and forms, she set herself apart from the state-prescribed Socialist Realism in the 1950s, the time of the Hungarian Revolution. In the following decade, Keserü began to experiment with different materials and techniques. Motifs alluding to her female identity increasingly came to the fore-even before and independently of the emerging second-wave feminism. The bright colors of her sensual abstractions are always the result of scientific and artistic experimentation.

About the Author
Ilona Keserü (*1933, Pécs, Hungary) graduated from the Academy of Fine Art in Budapest in 1958 (the István Szonyi fresco painting studio). Keserü initially earned her living in the field of applied graphics and book illustration. She started exhibiting her art in the mid-1960s and participated in the important exhibitions that formed the so-called Iparterv generation. In parallel, she began developing her career as a theater designer. Since 1983, she taught at the University of Pécs and then became one of the founders of the Master School of Fine Arts in Pécs. Recently, her works have been included in exhibitions featuring the most important abstract artists, such as Women in Abstraction at Centre Pompidou, Paris, among others. She lives and works in Budapest.
