Hungarian Art History and Sitemap

Miklós Ligeti | Impressionist /Realist sculptor

Hungarian art has been both stunted and spurred on by pivotal historical events.

King Stephen’s conversion to Catholicism brought Romanesque and Gothic art and architecture, while the Turkish occupation nipped Hungary’s Renaissance in the bud.

The Habsburgs opened the doors wide to baroque influences. The arts thrived under the Dual Monarchy, through Trianon and even under fascism. Under communism much money was spent on classical music and 'correct' theatre. Under current economic conditions funding for the arts is being slashed.

Alexander Shevelev, 1964 | Impressionist painter

Александр Шевелёв was born in Rybinsk, Jaroslav, Russia. He studied Painting, Sculpture and Architecture at the "Sherehobich School" Leningrad.

He graduated in Architecture at the "I. Repin🎨 University". He is a member of the Group of Professionals of the European Union of Russian Artists. He is also a member of the Russian Federation.

Olga and Aleksey Ivanov | Egg tempera painters

The Ivanovs emigrated from Russia to the United States in 2002. There were a number of reasons for their move.

“We were working with a New York art agency by that time, and due to bureaucracy it was nearly impossible to deliver our art to clients on time”, says Aleksey.

“Also, the tremendous interest in our art in the U.S. gave us a clear message that this is the country where we want to create”.
