Hungarian Culture: through the lens of Visuality has been offered for several semesters at the PPK as an optional course for ELTE students. The language of the course is English, and it is mainly attended by international students, both from the PPK and from other faculties, e.g. BTK, GTK, IK.In the framework of the course, on Wednesday 10 May, we were invited by the Makláry Fine Arts Gallery to visit the exhibition Four Apostles, where we were welcomed by the gallery's director Éva Soós. The exhibition explores a fascinating period of the life of Judit Reigl, who was born 100 years ago, and her friends, her vibrant, colourful canvases and her often fabulously depicted travel experiences. According to Éva Soós, the mission of the gallery is to educate and deepen visual literacy, which is why they consider such visits very important. Their recently published book on Judit Reigl's life's work, which is also perfectly understandable for children, serves this purpose.
