WE ARE SURROUNDED BY THESE COLOURS IN OUR GARDEN IN KAPOSVAR. NEXT TO THE SCARLET SAGE AND THE SIMPLE RED GERANIUM, ARE THE PURE WHITE FLOWERS WHICH I BECAME FOND OF, BUT I LOVE THE CHROME YELLOW ZINNIA EVEN MORE. I DO NOT KNOW ANY YELLOW COLOUR WHICH IS SO WARM AND INTENSIVE. NOW I AM SEARCHING FOR THESE COLOURS AND COLLECT DIFFERENT OBJECTS WITH THESE COLOURS AND FABRICS IN MY APPARENT. ALSO ON THE WALLS I PREFER THIS LIGHT YELLOW COLOUR. MY STUDIO HAS ON ONE SIDE A WHOLE WINDOWFRONT; BUT THE OTHER SIDE IS PAINTED IN THESE COLOURS, EVEN THE ROOM IN WHICH I SLEEP. NATURALLY THESE COLOURS APPEAR IN MY PAINTINGS AND I DON'T THINK THAT TODAY THERE ARE A LOT OF PAINTERS WHO ARE PAINTING SO COLOURFUL. PERHAPS THE YOUNGER ONES WILL GET FOND OF THIS ART AND WILL CULTIVATE IT - NATURALLY THEY DON'T HAVE TO FORGET THE MEANING OF FORMS (SHAPE) AND LINES. THE TENDANCY IN THIS DIRECTION IS ALREADY VISIBLE AND IT IS ALREADY A PLEASURE THINKING THAT THE SIGHT OF EXHIBITIONS WILL BE OR WILL SEEM HAPPIER AND MORE IMPRESSIVE WHEN WE WILL EXPERIENCE THE ORGY OF COLOURS IN FRONT OF MY EYES.(TRANSLATED AFTER A TEXT BY THE ARTIST).
