Window in (Buda-)Pest by Keri Imre
Keri Imre, Window in (Buda-)Pest lithography 35 of 100 50 x 61 framed
Artist: Keri Imre
Artist Description/Story
Classically trained at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts,
Imre Keri quickly rose to prominence as one of Hungary’s leading graphic artists. His works are on exhibition at major European art fairs and are held in many public and private collections throughout Europe. He is married to Ilona Decsi, an equally talented artist who specializes in oils and drawing.
Keri was born on April 13, 1945, in Balatonfred, Hungary, in one of the many small villages surrounding Lake Balaton, the largest lake in Central Europe. His childhood home was a water mill. He frequently recalls his early impressions of old stone walls, dark candlelit rooms inside, and white light outside-his first experience in the world of blacks and whites. This black and white vision of the world is remembered in moving recollections of the rich whiteness of snow. This early vision can be seen expressed in his fine black and white mezzotints that are eagerly sought by private collectors.
His artistic talents began to emerge when he was ten-years old with drawings of the surrounding natural world. His lifelong commitment to the fine-arts was realized when he enrolled in the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest in 1966. He interrupted his studies when he spent one month in Amsterdam where he was strongly influenced by the graphic works of Rembrandt.
