Abstract

The depiction of Hungarian village and rural life ap-peared as a motif of outstanding significance in 20th-century painting. The representation of the hungarian village and ru-ral life appeared as an outstanding motif in the 20th century painting. The variations in the appearance of the topic are closely related to the transformations of Hungarian society in the 20th century (vagy 20th century helyett:era). The focus is on each in artistic oeuvres to depict the rural sites of civic life and to the myth of a peasant living in harmony with nature and folklorization, elsewhere a new, pantheistic one falls to cre-ate a picture of nature. In the artistic oeuvres the focus was on the representation of the civil life’s rural locations, on the myth of peasants who live in harmony with nature, more on their folklrisation and elsewhere on a new, pantheistic nature-picture creation. In the first half of the 20th century, this idyll dominates in pictorial expressions describing the concept of rurality. In the first part of the study, different variations of the depictions of the rural idyll appearing in the art of Somogy are reviewed, especially focusing on the art of József Rippl-Rónai. In the first half of the study, the different variations of rural idyll’s depictions in Somogy’s art are reviewed, espe-cially focused on József Rippl-Rónai’s works.
