FROM THE MAYOR'S DOORSTEP

By Piri Halasz

Works

A Memoir of Creativity: abstract painting, politics & the media, 1956-2008
Halasz’s theory concerning abstract painting escapes more conventional art critics. To make it more intelligible both to them and to the general reader, she tells how she developed it through personal and professional experience – as art critic and art historian, but also in the wider context of the mass media.
