János Balázs painter, poet was born in 1905. In his childhood the family moved to Salgótarján, Hungary to the gypsy settlement of Pécskődomb, where they lived in a small house they had made themselves. Balázs grew up in severe poverty, and then began to paint and write poetry. After returning from prisoner of war, he lived in seclusion: he continued his work as a kind of hermit. His friends and admirers brought him canvas and paint so that he could create. Translated with DeepL.com (free version) At the exhibition in Szeged, visitors will be able to see his unique paintings and read his unique poems.

The exhibition was made possible thanks to the Dornyay Béla Museum in Salgótarján, from whom the collection is on loan!
