Imre Bak
Imre Bak is part of the group of young “self-educated” Hungarian contemporary artists from the 1960s. He was strongly inspired by the vivid palette of Impressionism and the forms of Cubism in his formative years. In 1962 Bak became increasingly attracted to geometrical abstract, hard edge painting. Inspired by the German concretists, the signal artists and American and British representatives of geometrical abstraction and pop art, Bak focused on non-figurative painting, exploring both strong, pure colour and strictly structured, sharp forms and lines in his works. By fusing the universal symbolism of European and Central American cultures with some of the lessons he drew from conceptual art.
