After the calamity of W.W. I, turmoil swept across Hungary. Two separate revolutions led to conflicts with neighboring states, and destitution was rampant. Many of the country’s artists fled to Berlin, where the banks of the Spree offered a chance to create more freely. It was the dawn of the Weimar Republic, where democracy reigned. These young Hungarian artists worked comfortably until the advent of National Socialism, and then it all fell away. In the first exhibition devoted to Hungarian Modernists, 200 paintings, prints, sculptures, photographs, films, stage designs, and architectural drawings present these exile artists in a period of liberation. —Elena Clavarino
