Abstract
Abstract In the second half of the 19th century – at the beginning of the Hungarian art history writing – all over Europe was a widespread view, that art expressed the national spirit. In the 20th century, mostly after the First World War, according to the intensification of the nationalist mentality in Central Europe the mainstream of the Hungarian research naively looked for an idealization of the past. After the Second World War, after the disillusion in the national ideas researcher became more realistic. Even the international art history made efforts to accentuate rather the common features of the region as their differencies, to think themselves as part of a larger entity, named East Central Europe. Hopefully this approaching will be more productive, as the ambition of appropriating certain artists or monuments.
