Studying the history of photography it becomes clear, that on the turn of the 19th and 20th century, during the era of Pictoralism (in Hungary it is considered as picturesque style, in Anglo-Saxon countries as Photo-recession) Hungarian and Western-European, mainly Belgian photography were the closest ever to one another.
Do not think of either dilatory or epigonism, not to mention copying.
There is a rather adequate explanation for this phenomenon, saying that in most countries, dominant artistic and technical characters of photography appeared at the same time, in the same way, following the direction of changing trends, so artistic products and ideas could have free entrance to countries without frontiers.
Exhibited photos are the property of Contretype Galerie, Musée de la Photographie seated in Charleroi and Hungarian Museum of Photography.
