The György Rauscher Archive

Ernst Múzeum

The Ernst Múzeum in Budapest was one of the leading private exhibition halls of interwar Hungary, and it twice held work by György Rauscher: at the academy students’ exhibition of 1923, and in the group exhibition of September 1927 (/bibliography#szamado-2019, pp. 8, 11-12).

Rauscher at the Ernst Múzeum

In 1923 the young Rauscher showed his prize-winning Tanulmányfej (Study Head) at the academy students’ exhibition there (see /biography/training).

The more significant occasion was the September 1927 exhibition, where he showed sixteen works alongside Derkovits Gyula, Molnár C. Pál, Simon György János, Cselényi Walleshausen Zsigmond, and the sculptor Kósa Mária. It was a six-artist group show, often misremembered as a Rauscher solo retrospective; the record is set out at /exhibitions/1927-ernst-muzeum.

It was this exhibition that produced his only surviving first-person statement, written for its catalogue, and the Nyugat and Pesti Hírlap reviews discussed at /biography/hungarian-years.
