Picasso y la escuela europea a partir de 1945

I would like to take the opportunity to outline the Hungarian artists related to the European School (Europai Iskola), founded in 1945. Members of this group perceived their work as a bridge between Eastern and Western Europe, and were creating a peculiar form of dialogue with new forms of European art. After the Second World War, the dialogue started to be influenced by the work of Pablo Picasso. Dezso Korniss appeals to Pablo Picasso’s Joie de Vivre in The Grasshopper’s Wedding—a painting which expresses not only joy and vitality, but also obscurity and a prophecy of what would happen the following year, namely, the outset of Stalin’s terror.
