* g :riodical. Twice hewonthesilvermedal of International iennal of Graphic and Humour in Italy. Here and at other international exhibitions he got several diplomas, too. /Montreal - Canada, Guadalajara - Mexico, Havanna - Cuba, Gabrovo - Bulgaria, Prague - Chechoslovakia/. In co-operation with twoof his collaborators, heworked out the grounds of fire - glazed - ceramics painting. This method is an absolutely new form of universal visual arts and it has become thedecorative motif of interiorand ex­terior architecture. It was he, who was introduced by the Hungarian State as a novelty with his fire - glazed -. ceramics paintings at the international spring and au­tumn fair in Frankfurt am Main in 1985. A large - sized fire - glazed - ceramics piece os his art - made in collaboration with Adam Wjiirtz and Mihály Sz. Zengő - decorates the main entrance facade of Épületkerámiái Vállalat. Fits large - sized mural fire - glazed - ceramicswall - picture of his own making decorates the ceremónián hall - head­­wall of the Calvinist College in Debrecen and the facade of School Nr.l in Sarkad, too. Mr.Ferenc Kesztyűs is counted as one of the versatile highly gifted persons, who has deserved the Superlative qualification in painting, too. He is in full possession of certain knowledge of drawing and continues fruitful activity in forms of applied arts. He has won remarkable success in graphical design of typographical products. Nowadays he is getting more and more popular due to his modern and witty fire - glazed - ceramics paintings. Various features of Hungarian pictorial are easily dis­cernible in the art of Mr. Ferenc Kesztyűs, signs in which it distinctly manifests itself the pursuance of the colour­ing and unambiguous style of ancestorsin Nagybánya and Szolnok. He is not only carrying on but also developing and modemly applying this style, not only in case of still - life and scenery, but also in connection with portrayal, too. Mr. Ferenc Kesztyűs played an important and determi­nant role in working out a new method of an art - invention. He became the initiator and partaker of the process getting known as fire - glazed - ceramics painting. It satisfies the demands of table- picture and mural - painting present as well as in the future, too. Together with two collaborators and by the moral and material support of the working team in an exellently equipped laboratory of Building - Ceramics company / Épöletkerámiai V./, after a four - year - long experiment sequence Mr. Ferenc Kesztyűs worked out the durable procedure of the technique with regard to the chemical formula as well as to the artistical execution, too. Fire - glazed - pottery /ceramics/ lends itself particularly well to make today s and tomorrow sway of life beautiful as if by magic and to take it out of the monotony, caused by the mass- producted thing around us. What is more these works of art are defying the rolling years and the inclemencies of cruel weather. Accordingly the goverment quality control tests, fire - glazed - ceramics endure without damage the tribulations of changes in temperature between -40° and +1200° Celsius. This feature - especially below freezing point - is the main, fundamental condition of durability in our zone and territories lying north of us. Besides the advantageous figures it is the intensification of colour - effects that is the most attractive property of fire - glazed - ceramics. This is the reason why the wide applying of fire - glazed - ceramics could be a benefaction to society. A benefation that could change the frame of life more serene and cheerful as well as the atmosphere of homes and public places, too. Dr. Gábor Ö. Pogány art - historian ret.
