Hungarian Representative Exhibitions and the Rhetoric of Display in the 1920s

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This article traces the Hungarian curatorial insights into the history and creative records of five different exhibitions and nationally directed development frameworks in the 1920s and the interwar periods. It resonated with prestige and curatorial authority, sharing an ideal-based exhibition to question and challenge assumptions about the path to a successful, industrious career in museums.

The works were unnervingly still and yet dynamic, filled with projected images of life dominated by recorded technology and methodology-applied processes. Footnotes 37 can further discuss its contribution to a more dynamic outcome from the contributing influences on various aspects of art. Lyka’s works highlighted significant creative developments that were well documented and had new significance in post-Trianon Hungary and knowledge. Cultural and new representatives’ exhibitions both covered newer insights into more up-to-date modern curatorial histories and the New World narrative’s parallelism and definitions. These are very well-written and collected works on Hungarian museums and curation.

Thank you for your comments.  I shall attempt to incorporate them into the revisions.

Reviewer 2 Report

A thorough, informative study on a very interesting subject. I regret that there is not more discussion of the actual works of art concerned, although I understand the reasons why this is the case.

Author Response

Thank you for your comments.  I plan on revising and enlarging the article to be a chapter in a book on the broader topic.  That should have illustrations of a number of the pieces as part of the discussion.

Reviewer 3 Report

This is probably one of the best articles I had the pleasure of reviewing for the Arts. The theses are clear, the narrative is smooth, and the composition of the whole text is exemplary. The bibliography is extensive and excellently selected. Above all, however, the article presents a high level of content. The subject is interesting and adds much to our knowledge of exhibition-making in the 1920s. How the historical material is presented, as well as its analysis deserves respect.
