The artwork of painter Czene Béla – Part One. Excerpts from a book by art historian Molnos Péter published 2022 by Móra Kiadó. Recently a large number of Czene’s paintings were ’discovered’ in the family attic. Czene Béla, 1911 (Isaszeg, Hungary) – 1999 (Budapest), studied art in Budapest and in Rome. Here are descriptions of Czene’s work in the late 1930s and 1940s. Many of Czene’s works from this period were dedicated to Hungarian myths of origin such as ’Hunor and Magor’ (legendary ancestors of the Huns and the Magyars). Interested in Hungarian village life, during this period he and his wife made several trips to the countryside to acquaint themselves with the life of the Hungarian peasants.
