Summary:

This first-ever monograph celebrates the Hungarian artist's remarkable seven-decade career, marking her 90th birthday in 2023. Known for her bold color palette and organic abstractions, Keserü masterfully blends Hungarian folk traditions with European modernist ideals. Explore the groundbreaking art of Ilona Keserü, one of Europe's most influential post-war abstract artists - Vibrant and bold colors: A hallmark of Keserü's work, reflecting her artistic and scientific experiments. - Early feminist themes: Her works from the 1960s emphasize female identity, preceding second-wave feminism. - Defying conformity: Her art stood as a bold statement against Soviet ideals, embracing creative freedom.Immerse yourself in Keserü's luminous color spaces and discover her lasting impact on European abstraction. This beautifully illustrated book is a must-have for art lovers, collectors, and anyone passionate about abstract art and feminist pioneers. ILONA KESERÜ (*1933 in Pčs, Hungary) graduated from the Academy of Fine Art in Budapest in 1958 (the Istvǹ Szonyi fresco painting studio). Keserü initially worked as an illustrator. 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 theatre designer. Since 1983, she taught at the University of Pčs and then became one of the founders of the Master School of Fine Arts in Pčs. Recently, her works have been included in exhibitions featuring the most important abstract artist such as "Women in Abstraction" at Center Pompidou, Paris, among others. She lives and works in Budapest.
