Between the two world wars Hungarian photography has bred a whole line of talented photographers,
some of these left the Country and became world famous, like André Kertész, Brassai, Moholy-Nagy,
Robert Capa, György Kepes ... Other stayed at home, and while they produced pictures of similar
quality as their world-famous colleagues, their talent was no different from those who left, but
the history of Hungary (Central Europe) condemned them to isolation, their talent could only be
expressed within a very narrow circle. The volume places beside those famous photographers of
world renown, the selection the works of those who stayed in Hungary (Pécsi József, Angelo, Balogh
Rudolf, Escher Károly, Kálmán Kata, etc.), taking care to illustrate how the artists, the works
and the tendencies inherent in them complement each other. The story is completed by the
historical–photo historical essay by Kincses Károly and the biographies of the photographers.
