Body and Soul-The Sculptor Béni Ferenczy (1890–1967)

Summary/Abstract: Erzsi (Elizabeth), the widow of Béni Ferenczy, died in the year 2000 at the age of 96. She married Ferenczy, already a recognised sculptor, in 1932, and until his death in 1967, she remained his faithful companion, a constant inspiration for his work and a frequent model. She devoted the last thirty-three years of her life to keeping her husband’s memory alive, and it is thanks to her that the Ferenczy Museum, containing the artwork of the entire Ferenczy family, opened its doors in Szentendre in 1972. In 1993, she created the Ferenczy Family Foundation. In 2005, the Foundation mounted a small exhibit at the Hungarian National Gallery to honour the memory of the artist and his wife.
