Leaves of the fabulous tree

I every day pass by bicycle along the studio house closing our street. Since a few years ago this plaque next to its last staircase proclaims that here lived and worked the painter and designer Ádám Würtz, widely known for his book illustrations. He drew a lot.

For example

Lullaby for children: (move the mouse over the poems for the English translation)





The strange adventures of the little Greek boy and little Turkish girl reduced to the size of a little finger in the island of Cyprus









And for adults:

The nostalgic-painful narrative by Sholem Alechem on a love rooted in the childhood, a beautiful fragile little story built of almost-happenings



To Wilde



thanks to the Medicina publisher, the Anangaranga enriched the extremely poor erotic book publishing of the Kádár era. The text is likely to have disappointed many readers, but the colorful illustrations with the women dawning in pearl color were really well done
