Hungarians actually call their country Magyarország... and other facts you didn't know about Hungary. Free links, resources, and printables are here!
Magyars used to ride horses (around 800 A.D. today we drive cars, bikes etc.) and their special fighting technique was to pretend retreat and when the enemy started chasing them magyar horsemen turned back on their horses (as seen above in the drawing) and shot their arrows at the enemy. A labirintus közepén lévő rajz egy honfoglalás kori magyar harci technikát mutat be: menekülést színlelni, majd az ellenséget meglepve a lovon hátrafordulva visszafelé nyilazni.

Plate size: 7.9 X 9.9 inches. Signed "Ralph Fabri, N.A." in pencil and annotated with title and "12/50", printed on fine-grained, cream wove paper 0.9 - 1.1 inch margins. Note: The Hungarian-born artist Ralph Fabri (1894-1975) studied as an architect before receiving his M.A. from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest in 1918. He came to America in 1921 and was naturalized six years later, residing permanently in New York. Fabri became an active member of the art community, teaching at the Parsons School of Design in the late forties followed by the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art and the National Academy School of Fine Arts. Concurrent with the latter position, he served as associate professor of art history at the City College, New York, until 1965. Fabri was an exacting and prolific printmaker, involved in several related organizations such as the Society of American Graphic Artists, the California Society of Etchers and printmakers groups in Boston and Washington. This exhibition was made possible by a recent donation of 80 of his prints, for which the university and the library wishes to acknowledge the generosity of Ms. Phyllis Newbeck.

Durer, Portrait study of a black man. 1508? Albertina, Vienna. From now through January 21, the Walters Art Gallery in Baltimore, Maryland, has an exhibition with the title Revealing the African Presence in Renaissance Europe. My plans to see it have not worked out, but I have the catalogue, and will give pictures from it in this and a subsequent blog. The catalogue is inexpensive and well worth, acquiring, with the warning that the illustrations for the exhibition itself are crammed into a section in the back, many of them printed the size of postage stamps. This is especially disappointing in the case of the woodcuts, which would have been the images most available to contemporaries. The sculpture in several photographs is poorly lighted. There is no index. Otherwise, this is a remarkable -- often beautiful -- collection of images of black faces with lucid supporting essays. I can see this catalogue as a class text.
