The exhibition Habitat seeks to provide an overview of visual approaches and attitudes to nature in art from the second half of the nineteenth century up to now, through paintings, graphic art and photo series, sculptures, photo documentations and videos. By placing the issues of the ecological crisis within a broader context, it explores how the relationship between nature and culture can be redefined, considering the complex relations between approaches taken to nature and the landscape in previous centuries, contemporary ecological thinking, and the interplay between nature and urban culture.

The Hungarian National Gallery exhibits works by Zoltán Kemény and Madeleine Kemény-Szemere from 4 December. The cabinet exhibition presents selected works from our Collection of International Art after 1800 and, marking a dual anniversary, it draws the dual horizon of the oeuvre(s) of the artist couple. Zoltán Kemény won the grand prize for sculpture at the Venice Biennale of 1964, sixty years ago, representing Switzerland. His wife, Madeleine Kemény-Szemere, donated almost four hundred or so of her and her husband’s works to the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts Budapest in 1984, forty years ago.

The thematic chamber exhibition Artists and Models explores the studio as both a space for creative activity and a site of artistic self-representation. In the late eighteenth century, alongside the acceptance of the divine origins of art, the Romantic era increasingly emphasised the human aspects of the creative genius. During the nineteenth century, there was a significant rise in interest in the personal lives and circumstances of artists. Studio scenes provided an accurate portrayal of the identity, personality, tastes and social status of artists. The studio was not only a creative milieu, a classroom filled with students and a workshop for executing monumental commissions but perhaps even an enigmatic or mundane venue for amorous rendezvous, receptions and masquerades.
