The sixties marks the start of the open-mindedness of Hungarian painting and its progressive emancipation from decades passed under the yoke of consecutive dictatorships in the Second World War. It is in this context of the late sixties and early seventies that Pál Gerzson painter artist socializes. His figurative pictorial vision, already concise and pithy, enters the world of abstraction. He invents a structure composed of singular pattern which later becomes the main label of his painting, a pictorial style near to aerial where his main sources of inspiration are the nature and the art. He traces his own way and only creates his art school in response to his students' desire, all future painter artists, to continue teaching. The period of his « gerzsonian » pictorial poetry when his system of means for autonomous expression is finally in place, coincides with the creation of such a unique pieces of work during his solitary period which explains his special place in the pantheon of Hungarian Fine Arts.
