A tribute to the piece composed in 1911 by the musician Béla Bart6k, Allegro barbaro, this catalogue brings to life, one hundred years later, the richness of the dialogue between the arts - music, painting, poetry - that Hungary experienced at the beginning of the 20th century. Many Hungarian artists in search of modernity turned to Paris where they discovered Gauguin, Cézanne, Matisse, and especially the Fauves whose cause they would take up. Pioneers within the European avant-garde, also drawing from the very roots of Hungarian culture, these painters invented, upon their return to their country, an autonomous and original language, a modernity tinged with national tradition.
