Nemzeti Szalon
The Nemzeti Szalon (the National Salon) was one of Budapest’s principal artists’ societies and exhibition halls. It holds a double place in Rauscher’s story: it showed him in his lifetime, and it gave him his estate exhibition after his death.
In his lifetime
Rauscher exhibited at the Nemzeti Szalon’s Tavaszi Szalon (Spring Salon) in May and June 1926, the show at which the Budapest press first took serious notice of him (see /exhibitions/1926-tavaszi-szalon).
The 1935 estate exhibition
After his death, the Nemzeti Szalon was the venue for the 1935 Hagyatéki kiállítás (estate exhibition), 118 works shown from 26 October to 10 November 1935, organised by Hubay Andor with the painter’s brother László (/bibliography#szamado-2019, pp. 41-42).
That exhibition’s catalogue is the most complete record of Rauscher’s oeuvre, and the archive reproduces it as a navigable document at /exhibitions/1935-nemzeti-szalon-estate.
