Rezső Bálint (14 October 1885 – 18 November 1945, in Budapest) was a Hungarian painter known for his landscape paintings.
He and his father visited the famous painters of the time one after the other, Fülöp László almost did not accept them, Bertalan Székely's answer is quoted verbatim by Rezső Bálint: "I do not recommend that he enter the field of painting.
In 1919 he published a portfolio entitled Shapes, Patches and Lines presenting ten stone-drawings preceded by an introduction by the Hungarian poet, Dezső Kosztolányi.
The Hungarian National Gallery today contains three of his pictures: "Mother with Her Child", "Interieur", "A Hospital Scene".
[3] The extremely rich oeuvre prompted many writers, poets, and the most famous art critics to deal in depth with Bálint's qualities.
Dezső Kosztolányipraised the work of Rezső Bálint several times in his writings, in some cases at the request of the artist.
These pictures, drawings and pastels all testify to the fact that he is under the inspiration of the eternal "impressionism", which he acquired for himself, at the cost of individual struggles and which is not taken down by any sign or new fashion.
Rezső Bálint was always one of those painters who thought about the nature and purpose of their art, about the importance of the foaming and swirling life around them.
In 1928, Jenő Józsi Tersánszky wrote the following in the 'Nyugat' (West): "Rezső Bálint, as he presents himself to us in this latest exhibition, is undoubtedly at the peak of his art.
Roughly speaking, it can be said that in matters of manner of expression, what he learned, or what he observed and passed on to himself, is like the quintessence of different perceptions.
