About
The inspiring source of Elek Győri remained the experience of peasant life and the worldview he absorbed as a child. Ernő Kállai traced the attractiveness of naive painting back to “a fresh originality free of the rules of manners and school tradition”. His painting, Easter Sprinkling, captures a celebrated event in village life from a subjective point of view, filled with a folk-tale atmosphere.
