Nude (dancer Flóra Korb), (1927)

János Timár Marosi's painting is depicted his wife, Flóra Korb, who studied classical ballet at Emília Nirschy's dance academy, then continued her studies with Olga Westphal in Munich, and with Clarisse Rie upon her return home. In 1927, she made a guest appearance in Italy for eight months. One of her first performances in Hungary took place in February 1928 at the Radius Film Theater, where she danced short atmospheric scenes to classical music (Chopin, Grieg). Probably already at that time she was a student or colleague of the movement artist Olga Szentpál, with whom she shared an evening in April 1929, also at the Rádius Film Theater. Similar to her performance in 1928, she staged comic situations or scenes on this evening as well (Joke, Romance). In József Pécsi's 1926 photograph of Flóra Korb or in the surviving photo of the dancer in the materials of the Szentpál school, a young movement artist can be seen in simple clothes. In the 1930s, she organized a ballet company (Korb Flóra Ballet), with which she toured the whole of Western Europe. Martin Munkácsi also took pictures of the dancer's troupe.
