Life

János Nádasdy attended the high school for fine arts and applied arts in Budapest (“Képzö- és Iparmüvészeti Szakközépiskola”, Török Pál Street). After the failed Hungarian uprising in 1956 , he emigrated via Vienna to Montevideo in Uruguay , where he continued the art studies he had begun in Hungary at the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes . In 1962 he returned to Europe. In 1964 he was recognized as a political refugee in the FRG under the Geneva Convention . From 1966 to 1970 Nádasdy studied free painting and graphic design with Herbert Ribitzki and Herbert Jaeckel at the Werkkunstschule Hannover . From 1971 to 1996 he worked as an art teacher at the Hanover College / Evening High School in Hanover .

He became famous in 1970 with his street art - action "housing lock" on the first Old Town Festival in Hanover .

Later, in Hanover, Nádasdy cleared out memories in the Leine in 1977, 1980, 1987, 1990, which he processed in his memorial for Kurt Schwitters and Karl Jakob Hirsch on the Hohe Ufer between Marstallbrücke and Leineschloss .

Ultimately, the actions led to the naming of Kurt-Schwitters-Platz in front of the Sprengel Museum Hannover as early as 1979 .

János Nádasdy is a member

  • in the BBK Hannover,
  • in the Werkbund Nord ,
  • in the Hungarian artist association MAOE. ( Magyar Alkotómuvészek Országos Egyesülete ; Association of Hungarian Visual Artists)
  • as well as in the Hungarian artist group Patak .

Wrong-way driver , 2010 in the collective exhibition Sound Gardens - Art on the Tree with Group 7 at Vierthaler Teich , Hanover-Waldhausen
2012: Rainforest installation in the winter gardens V - H2O joint exhibition in Güntherstrasse , Hanover-Waldhausen

János Nádasdy turns to different artistic techniques, processes and materials in his work. He is not interested in questions of style. In terms of content, the focus of his artistic attention is on the deformations caused by humans in modern society. Examples are his Müllkippenladschaften , lithographs from the 1970s, his bunker serials and bitumen -Work

Graphic works

In the 1970s, the artist created large-format colored pencil drawings on the subject of the environment , such as No Man's Land (1973), Seascape (1974), Strategic Landscape (1974), Seascape II (sinking of an oil tanker , 1979), Dohle (1981), Sunset ( drive-in cinema , 1980), renovation (1982). At the same time, after a trip to Denmark and later to Brittany, he began in the early 1970s with his bunker pictures , for which he developed his own screen printing technique. His picture series are: All revolutionaries are paper tigers / toilet folder with 16 etchings (1969), wall (1980), etching , lost - the Merz picture 1919 (1986-89), heart severely luxated - heart surgery / pictures from the operating room ( general St. Georg Hospital in Hamburg , “Seriemonotypien”, own printing process, 1996–1999), wall flowers - Berlin postcards (1980–1989), Lenin in need of explanation - Budapest 1956 (2002–2006).

His large sculpture Waldfrieden 2000 from 1990 in front of the town hall in Hanover was deliberately destroyed and rebuilt in 1991 at the instigation of the then Prime Minister of Lower Saxony Gerhard Schröder in front of the Lower Saxony Ministry of Science and Art .
