Lugosi Lugo László
JEWISH BUDAPEST
An enthusiastically assimilating Jewry was one of the engines of bourgeois transformation in Hungary, which blossomed at hte time of the country's 1896 millenary celebrations. Its activity left a marked trace ont he image of Budapest, which was int he process of becoming a metropolitan centre. This interaction finally ended with the anti-Jewish laws and the Holocaust. László Lugosi Lugo's beautiful photographs immortalise what has remained of this culture and reveal that which aims to live again.
