Presentation Topic: Art and National Trauma: The 1938 Mosaic of Hungary’s First King

Explore the intersection of art, history, politics, and religion with Professor Kriszta Kotsis through the lens of one peculiar mosaic. In 1938, with Hungary still reeling from the territorial losses of World War I and with the Second World War brewing, a museum commissioned a medieval-style mosaic for its main entrance. The image honored the first king of Hungary and served as both a reflection of national trauma and a potent symbol of national ambition. This talk will investigate how reviving artistic styles from the past can be a tool for propaganda, a tactic still in use today.

Appetizers and refreshments are included. 

Reception begins at 5:30 p.m. 

Presentation starts at 6 p.m.

Please submit your RSVP by Tuesday,  Sept. 23.
 

We hope to see you there!
