Some remark b y B e l a B a c s o

The newest Collages, Photo-Transformations of Horkay, in a certain regard are the continuation of the previously established visual
formatting and creating methods.

This are not simple extract ions, or not only the verifications of hisknowledge to select from the wide tradition of visual art, but a
selection for a purpose. In the newest visual theory research there is a higher emphasis on analyzing image anthropology (Hans Belting).

Horkay's artworks are directive by that respect. By giving moreprominent value to the expression of the implied anthropological
substance, to the gesture, to the pose, he does not simply create amore significant work as before, he implies those rudiments (elements)
into his statement.

The anthropologists, and along them the contemporary DADA is notdeterred from the realization, that applying body language and
positioning in the visual creativity process has tremendous meaningvalue.

That applies for Horkay's art also. The power and expression of his workcomes from the application and combination of the redemption of the
meaning, and the statement of gesture, pose and body.

Wolffin stated already in 1921, that the vision has explanatory and illustrative features, meaning we do not simply see, we see something
by
something - by that a vision is able to refer to not only itself, but to assign to a certain relation trough it, which is more than the
ordinary sight itself, since we never see only thepicture.

A picture born by a vision.
