In our series, in a thematic selection, we show artworks, which were made with the support of the Pécsi József Photography Grant. The first subject is the still-life: “A type of artwork that depicts an arrangement of inanimate objects, such as fruit, flowers or musical instruments, often with symbolic connotations”. Zsolt Péter Barta, Imre Drégely and Melinda Kovács made still-lifes in the beginning of the 1990s with the support of the Pécsi József Photography Grant.
