With a career spanning more than 70 years, Hungarian artist Ilona Keserü (born 1933) combines Hungarian folk culture with European modernism in an organic, abstract style. Her motifs alluding to her female identity were increasingly emphasized in her art, independent of the rise of second-wave feminism.
