| Title | Medievalism in Contemporary Hungarian Art (1990-2010) |
| Summary | The thesis discusses medievalism, the afterlife of medieval art in Hungary from 1990 to 2010. Through twelve case studies it elucidates how contemporary Hungarian artists dealt with their medieval heritage. The first chapter, Colliding Timelines is dedicated to the specific problems of monumental sculptures erected for public commission. The second, Medieval Fantasies discusses the antagonism of artistic fantasy and scientific accuracy; also the questions of education and entertainment. Paraphrased Authorities seeks answers why artists chose specific medieval works for paraphrase, while Appropriation of the Medieval shows an artistic attitude which selects only few elements of the medieval work, making it integral part of the new creation. |
