Description
Dezső Korniss was the first Hungarian artist to treat the motifs he retrieved from that "clear spring" of folk art not as decorations or accessories, but as independent artworks in their own right, replete with meaning. In Korniss's works, folk motifs are not included in the pictures, but are themselves transfigured into pictures. The metamorphoses he enacted are as magical as the transformation of the hunter's sons into stags in the Hungarian folk ballad.
