remains a coherent whole. Far from being a of new periods in her work have always arisen from new questions arising in the wake of addressing a painterly problem, driving her to find a new answer. The result of uncompromising honesty and energy, her paintings emanate the same power and freshness even half a century after they were created, attesting to the fact that true art always remains topical and timeless. Her oeuvre, spanning six decades in an on-going dialogue with the major art tendencies of the era, stems from a sphere of thought focused on escaping all constraints that would limit the individual to any single field, breaking free of the boundaries imposed by space and time. Such a tendency of perpetually transgressing borders – be they geographical or formal – makes her work particularly modern. Judit Reigl was a student at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest between 1941 and 1946. She travelled to Italy in 1946 on a two-year scholarship to Rome, but owing to the altered Hungarian political situation, she was forced to return to Hungary in 1948, before the full two-year term was over. Before long, she realised that in a Hungary locked up behind the Iron Curtain, artists could not work freely, either. Following eight failed attempts to flee from the country, she finally left Hungary illegally in 1950, and after a long journey lasting for several months, she arrived in France, where she has lived and worked since. Her initial works created in Paris under the influence of Surrealism attracted even the atten-
