CSÓK, István
(1865, Pusztaegres - 1961, Budapest)

"Honni soit qui mal y pense..."

1925
Oil on canvas, 124 x 163 cm
Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest

Although after World War I Csók's scope of subject matter became more varied and the old philosophical problems and Symbolist compositions examining the relationship between men and women, kept recurring in his work, he also continued to paint idyllic pictures, adapting himself perhaps even more than was necessary to the demands of his patrons and of art dealers. In spite of this, both his art and his personality enjoyed a high reputation. He became a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts where, besides János Vaszary, he was the most important representative of modern art.
