Excerpt from Catalogue of an Exhibition of Contemporary Graphic Art in Hungary, Bohemia, and Austria Hungarian poet of whom foreigners practi cally never hear, merely because no one has as yet found it possible adequately to translate his inspired songs. Even a paraphrase of hisfpas sionately patriotic lines would seem over strained and too emotional. As well attempt to translate Robert Burns into Spanish! Only Kisfaludy's fellow-countrymen can truly ap preciate such intense nationality, but the unique flavor of his native heath, which limits the poet's appeal, is one of his chief claims to recognition, and, in a measure, it is a qual ity possessed by him in common with al most every true artist in any medium. The Hungarian graphic artists, who address them selves to our eyes, are of course more easily appreciated, or, as it were, translated. Even pictures, however, are often as strange as spoken language, and works of rare truth and power may exert no charm on the average f or eigner. It is for that reason, perhaps, that the world at large can with difficulty be persuaded to see beauties in the work of such original men as the Northerner Munch or the Swiss Hodler. It usually takes many years for artists of their type to command a cosmopolitan ap peal. To the student and the connoisseur, how ever, such men are most worthy of study, and it is encouraging to find that an artisticallyyouthful country like Hungary possesses many talented sons who are content to be occupied with national ideals. One of them, indeed, hav ing mastered the manner of the great French men among whom he sojourned, and having succeeded artistically and financially, delib erately threw over their remunerative methods and gradually evolved a style which is thor oughly personal, and therefore Hungarian through and through.
