Speakeress (1935 előtt)

'In Paris, in his real Bakony, he became his own master. The new world that greeted him in the French capital, the new graphic language that was spoken there, and above all the Toulous-Lautrec-Pascin-Vértes' style, led him at last to his true self. Szilárd Detre has a lot of charm and grace, not in his subjects, but in the light elegance of his lines and the soft runs of his colouring. This gracefulness of performance is the most important characteristic of his artistic personality, which expresses itself in the virtuosity of his masterly portrayal of life', Béla Lázár writes very aptly in the catalogue of Detre's 1935 group exhibition.
