„Az én kulcsom: papírvágó ollóm, amivel képes-papírokat vagdosok össze-vissza, mint egy gyermek, aki örömét leli vandál játékában... Kendős parasztasszonyokat csonkítok meg: arcukat kivágom és ráragasztom egy asztal lapjára, kivágom egy asztal két lábát és keresztet alakítok azokból, majd kivágom a Megváltót és egy csónak kereszt alakú fenékpallójára feszítem fel és átélem állandó szenvedését, ami sajátommá lett... Régi zsidó temetők sírkövei között bolyong a képzeletem: megidézi a múltakat és megidézem a múltamat, amit kivetítek egy olyan jövő fehér kartonlapjára, amelyen az idő cigánykereket hány: a létezőből nem létezőt és a nem létezőből létezőt hazudik, és egyedül a hitem tanúskodhatna titkaimról, de hitemről csak magam tanúskodhatnék, akinek nincs is hite, vagy ha igen, egyedül a képzelet rendjében hisz és a rend fegyelmezett képzeletében... Az éjszakák kíméletesebbek velem, mint a nappalok, álmokba taszítanak az éjszakák, de ezekkel az álmokkal nincs mit kezdenem, mert nem az akaratom alakította olyanná, amilyenek, míg a nappali álmaimat az akaratom és a képzeletem mozgása egy olló és papírragasztó segítségével emeli ki a közömbösség fagyott árkaiból.”

Endre Bálint, 1981

The Idea to illustrate Madách Imre's 1860 published work was came up in the summer of 1885. In this time the newspapers wrote that Zichy got a two month holiday from the czar, to draw the illustrations for The Tragedy of Man. At the first time he only drawed 15 artworks, which were exhibited in the Műcsarnok in 1886.

One year later in 1888 another gift edition were published with all the 20 drawings. The readership and the citic were also impressed. In spite of illustration were very extensive and popular from the 1850's, this was the first time that Zichy made a series for a hungarian literature.

THE LORD
You there, Lucifer, proudly standing apart,
No word of praise from you? Are you still silent?
Does something in my work, perhaps, displease you?

George Grosz (1893 – 1959) german artist. Near the Academy, he studied caricatures. The difficulties of living were forced to draw into : his humorous, satyric drawings were very popular. His compositions were mainly like graphics than paintings.

He hated cruelity, and he was dreaming of mankind happiness. May be that was the reason he can illustrate with cruel. Grosz's satyre reveal the dark side of the society. His artworks and drawings were confiscated, banned, qualify against morality.

Isoda Koryusai (1735-1790) was a Japanese printmaker and painter active from approximately 1764 to 1788.
The details of his life are under some dispute. He apparently came from a samurai background. One theory stated he became a ronin and was forced to turn to art, but another says he voluntarily gave up the life of a samurai for art. In 1781 he received the title Hokkyo for his talent and accomplishments.

Barabás László magyar festőművész. Kísérleteket folytatott egy új zománcfestékkel, alumínium alappal, amely átalakította posztnagybányai szemléletét. Az anyagban rejlő lehetőségek a stilizálás, a dekoratív ábrázolás felé terelték, a táblakép sajátos változatához vezették. Témavilága időben, térben alig határolt. A történelem emlékei, jeles egyéniségek alakja, cselekedetei és a jelen természetes és épített környezete egyaránt inspirálja. Jelentős grafikai munkássága nagy technikai jártasságát bizonyítja. E műfajban eljutott a jelképalkotásig, lemondva a tér távlatos ábrázolásáról. Néprajzi sorozatai szellemes lenyomatai a múltnak, egy eltűnő életformának.
