About the Item

Two Karoly Veress abstract bronze sculptures. Free shipping within the United States and Canada. Karoly Veress (Dalnoki Veress, Karoly) was born in 1935 in the rugged mountains of Transylvania. The upheaval of the Second World War forced him to recognize the fragility of his environment and the system that shaped it. In his youth he exhibited a natural talent for literature and poetry, his first artistic expression. In the turbulent 1950s, Veress studied literature at the University of Budapest. The chaos and ruins of postwar Hungary and the subsequent resentment of Soviet occupation, led to anger within the Hungarian psyche which erupted into the Hungarian Revolution in 1956. Veress's participation in the revolution ended in tragedy, as he experienced the second major upheaval in his life - the necessity to leave Hungary. Veress fled to the Netherlands, where he continued his studies in Arts at the University of Leiden. In 1966 he married Margot Dooijes, and in the stability and peace he found, he discovered his love for sculpting. Veress once wrote, "I am put on the earth in the middle of creation. My life is a flight into the protection of others, and a flight back to loneliness to see if I still exist. I exist in making sculptures." For Veress sculpting was more than a discovery; it was an explosion of exploring human emotions, not through words, but through form. One of the most important developments in Veress's professional career was his meeting with the great Dutch art critic and curator Pieter Leffelaar. Leffelaar became his mentor, and until his death in 1978, was an important force in the development of Veress's career. Leffelaar once said, "Veress's art does not mimic reality, it goes beyond, where imitation stops." In the 1970s, Veress became well-known in the Netherlands and much of Europe. His work graces many private and corporate collections, including that of Her Majesty Queen Beatrix, Queen of the Netherlands, and those of the Dutch and German governments. In 1978, Willem Sandberg, the famous former director of the Stedelijk Museum of Amsterdam, encouraged him to spread his wings to North America. Veress shares his time between the Niagara region in Canada, and a small village in Hungary, from where his art has continued to grow and develop. From these peaceful spots his work reaches out across the world. Veress emphasizes that his work not only reflects the time of its creation, but must also have a timeless truth. Sculpture should not merely be a translation of the human experience into form, but should also explore the aspect of the human psyche that is detached from everyday life - from actuality. Art is truthful and authentic when it gives the moment of its creation a place in the universal order. His work, although prompted by personal experiences, spontaneously decouples from the present and evolves into a deeper, almost generically human expression. What Veress expresses in his sculpture relates to all of us, and transcends generations, cultures, and races - this is what gives Veress's work a timeless truth.
