László Kutas

When a figurative artist transcends his medium, the degree of his triumph can be measured by how distant he has brought the artistic illusion from the material itself. In the case of László Kutas’ sculpture, the triumph is better understood in terms opposites rather than degree. From cold, hard bronze Kutas forms, not mere figures, but charming characters full of warmth and the softness of life. Elegant, tranquil women and playful, innocent children excite our imaginations and even our affections. The bronze sculpture of László Kutas immediately ingratiates itself with whoever beholds it. From Budapest to Windsor Palace, his long and eclectic résumé can be seen, instead, as a history of those from around the world who have fallen in love with his delightful sculptures.
