Résumé
"Become the greatest plein air painter in the world, greater than Rapha-el": the visionary art of Csontváry A b s t r a c t : The study focuses on the turning point in the life of Tivadar Csontváry Kosztka (1853-1919), one of the most original geniuses of Hungari-an painting, whose art cannot be related to any pictorial trend. It presents the exceptional career of this painter: it is under the effect of a mystical vision-telling him that he would become a plein air painter, greater than Raphael-that in 1894 he abandons his profession as a pharmacist in Igló to devote himself to art. From this vision the new man will be born: the pharmacist Tivadar Kosztka will become the painter Csontváry who undertakes trips to the land of the legends in search of the "great motive" and manages to create a visionary artistic universe. k e y w o r d s : Csontváry, plein air painter, mystical vision, legend, myth
