Besides Munich and Paris, there was another way which led to Naturalism: Vienna - Paris - Szolnok. This second was chosen by Sándor Bihari, although his naturalism was more faithful to the objects, and was, in fact, closer to realism. Affected by the visits he made to the artists' colony at Szolnok, Bihari started to produce "plein air" paintings around 1890. From this time on, without giving up the narrative character of his paintings, he uninhibitedly depicted man and nature with fresh colours. Beyond characterizing a canvassing future member of Parliament and the citizens of the village excellently, "Programme Speech", painted in 1891, also allows a glimpse of the humorous side of the artist.
