 An international artist from Hungary with roots locally in Bemidji and Park Rapids is featured at Gallery North in Bemidji. Hedy Klodner shows us how the artwork of Gabor Nemeth lives on years after his death and this week's in focus. A world-renowned artist with a Hungarian background at Minnesota Ties is featured at Gallery North in Bemidji. Gallery North was selected to display the work of Gabor Nemeth. So to have a man of his caliber decide that he wanted to live in Minnesota especially and Park Rapids and Bemidji. So something about the community that we have that would draw someone of his talent to this space. Nemeth didn't like to talk about his experiences as a refugee. He chose to focus on his life in Los Angeles as his son Eric. At the time Nemeth worked as an art restorer and dealer Bemidji even inspires some of his work. A lot of his newer work is from the area like scenes by the lake or turkeys and the kind of country scenes here in Minnesota which he's just started to kind of do before he passed away. Gabor Nemeth moved to Park Rapids in 1970 and the North Country Museum of Arts was renamed the Nemeth Art Center in his honor. We're hoping that people are gonna come and look at it and maybe even purchase. Although Nemeth passed away in 2014 his legacy still lives on. Eric is instrumental in gaining his father's work out in front of the public. His artwork is unique. I think there's not a lot of French pastel work in the area. So I, you know, I think art speaks to each person kind of in an individual level. Gallery North will show Gabor Nemeth's artwork for the month of September for this week's and focused Haiti Clutter Lakeland News.
