"Some habits are hard to die. When your first paid job is to make portraits and cartoons for a local newspaper, the need to draw will always be with you, even when you become a history PhD student. Or, at least, that is what happened to me.
Joining a PhD programme provided me with the amazing opportunity to meet so many new people and make more and more portraits during the conferences and lectures I partook in. With this exhibition I am going to share with you a selection of them."
Opening address by György E. Szőnyi, Professor of the History Department, CEU.
