Hungarian Folk Arts and Crafts. Educational Curriculum Kit 6.
Boros-Kazai, Andrew
This booklet provides a brief introduction to Hungarian arts and crafts. A discussion of the historical development and characteristics of Hungarian folk art supplies the background for a section in which regional styles of Hungarian folk art are described (Transdanubia, the Highlands of northern Hungary, Transylvania, and the Great Hungarian Plain.) Section four presents descriptions and illustrations of Hungarian folk art, including structures, furniture, carving, pottery, metalwork, leatherwork, folk costumes, and embroidery. The availability of Hungarian folk art collections in the Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania) area is cited, and a selected bibliography is included. (JD)
