Akasztott Ember
''Akasztott Ember'' (Hanged Man) was a Hungarian language avant-garde art magazine published in Vienna by Sándor Barta. Five issues appeared between November 1922 and February 1923. It was subtitled "The Organ of Universal Socialist Culture". Barta had indicated his dissatisfaction with the stance of '' MA'', another Hungarian émigré avant-garde arts magazine based in Vienna in July 1922. He indicated that owing to the need for a social revolution it was inappropriate to base an arts practice in anything other than literature. This set him on a track at odds with both ''MA'' and ''Egység'' another magazine established by Béla Uitz and Aladár Komját, who likewise broke away from ''MA''. The title was taken from a poem of the same name published in the 15 July issue of ''MA'' which commemorated those who had been executed in the suppression by the White Terror following the fall of the Hungarian Soviet Republic. The first issue included a Manifesto in which Barta wrote, in ca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
