From 1979 on, his photographs appear in professional publications (Fot, Fotmvszet), and his works are displayed at group exhibitions. Between 1980 and 1986 he is awarded 7 Niveau prizes of Fotmvszet for his works. 1982 begins to write his message books, with no intention of publishing them. 1983 stages the first solo exhibition of his photographs, under the title Losers. 1986 becomes member of the Association of Hungarian Photo Artists. 1986 his still lifes entitled Acts of Compensation (Compensation Still Lifes) win the Grand Prize of the Fifth Photo Biennial of Esztergom. 19871989 works for the Miskolc daily paper Dli Hrlap as a photo-reporter and journalist. 1989 receives the grant of the Rome Art Academy, through the Hungarian Ministry of Culture. 1989 loses his job with Dli Hrlap, and remains unemployed for 2 years. His professional and artistic career broken, he has to build up his existence from scratch both in the intellectual and the physical sense under circumstances that are unknown and alien to him. Drawing helps him overcome his depression. 1989 together with his wife, he starts his own venture under the name Foto & Design Co., but it is only in 1991, when he has his first Budapest exhibition at the Ernst Museum, that he begins doing substantial work in it. 19871991 turns towards autonomous picture graphics. In 1991, from the graphic works and montages produced during these 4 years, he has a solo exhibition arranged at the Ernst Museum Budapest, under the title Organon. This is soon to be followed by another exhibition in the Gallery of Miskolc, with the same title. 19912005 compelled to be self employed, with modest successes. 19912001 does not do any photography but continues to present his works at various exhibitions, devoting himself solely to drawing and montage making. His intellectual and material beings are sharply separated: he calls his 16 years wasted after 1989 (the change of regime) an effective state of schizophrenia. 1992 becomes member of the sadly short-lived Chamber of Hungarian Applied Photographers. 1992 sets up his own art supplies shop, under the aegis of his Foto & Design Co. 1992 gains membership of the National Association of Hungarian Creative Artists, in its art department.

Information about Ern Fejrs Photographic Oeuvre

Fejrs active period in photography is realised between the years 1976 and 2004. His career as a photographer started rather late, and was tied predominantly to the Exhibition Room of the Attila Jzsef Library of Miskolc, the Miskolc Gallery and the daily paper Dli Hrlap of the city of Miskolc. He worked in what he called genre clusters. Due to various circumstances in his life, most of his photographs were taken in the 15 years between 1976 and 1991, whereas the pictures of the Message Book series were created between 20012004. He was active both in applied photography (reprographics, fine art documentation, reports, press and commercial photography) and in autonomous photography, working side by side in these two fields, but keeping them strictly apart. In this volume of his photographic works, he publishes only his so-called still lifes, his most significant and most personal autonomous photographs. After the initial images of reminiscence and studies, these series go deeper and deeper into a melancholic and metaphoric world of vision, to clash his personal view of life with the dead-end of existence. Waiting for no response, he sends messages to scarred Time. His pictures are characterized by a fine artists philosophy and photographic technique. Some of his photographic work like the Losers series, exhibited and published only in part is a series of pictures with a sociographic, documentary and cultural anthropological approach, including those with the working titles Church Holiday Cycle, Death, Behind the Stage, and Courtyards in the Main street of Miskolc, all of which remained mostly or entirely unpublished. This creative process was broken and left by and large unfinished due to the two years of unemployment that the change of regime brought for him, shattering his autonomy as a photographer as well as his intellectual and financial existence. His pictures taken between 19761990, of artist colleagues, studio and personal life situations, fine art juries, exhibition openings, literary nights, theatre events

Az autonm fotogrfin bell szmos sorozat maradt tovbbra is alig publikltan. Pldul a Vrostjak, a Temettjak, a Parktjak, a Gyermekkorom sznhelyei, a Tzfallra V. v.

Ennek killtsa utn egy vratlan gesztussal befejezte fotogrfusi mkdst, mint mondta, minden tovbbi invencija ellenre. A fotogrfit megelzve, s aztn ksbb, vele prhuzamosan kpzmvszettel is foglalkozott (egyedi rajzok, montzsok), s ezzel foglalkozik jelenleg is.

(all born through work, social interaction and friendships) represent real documentary and cultural historical value. The collection of fine art reproductions that he compiled for the Attila Jzsef Library from the special exhibitions arranged there may well have genuine significance in art history. His photo reports about Miskolc shot from 1987 to nearly 2000 as well as those about Borsod-Abaj-Zempln County, shot on commission, are of importance in local history, just like his slide collection made for the City Library of Miskolc. As to his series in autonomous photography, several have remained largely unpublished. Among them are Cityscapes, Cemetery Landscapes, Park Landscapes, Scenes of my Childhood, Firewall Poetry for V. v. Delft, and Surface Landscapes pictures that are prints of homage to Atget and of the over-whelming attachment to the personal existence and scenery (see Collection of Photography/Fnykptr, Volume 2 , edited by Mihly Gera, Pelikn Publishers, Budapest, 1996.) An important part of Fejrs oeuvre are his Self-Portraits, which run through his entire career. Striving to create a unique vision, these selfportraits aim to grasp and depict the relationship between the internal, emotional-psychological state and the outside world, rather than recording an external condition, the passing of time. His Message Book series were taken between 20012004, almost like an inclusion. After their exhibition, Fejr, with a sudden and unexpected gesture, abandoned his work as a photographer, despite his undiminishing creative invention, as he put it. Preceding and then parallel to photography, he has also been engaged in fine arts (individual drawings and montages), and devotes himself fully to it at present.

Technical information
Similarly to reproductive graphics but with no traditions in photography, Fejr assigned numbers to the still life series found in this volume, marking them F.A. 3/13/3, and later F.A. 1/1. With this he wished to signal that, contrary to the theoretical possibility of enlarging photographic works in an unlimited number, the creation of a single piece of art satisfies and brings to completion the creative invention, continuable only in a new, different work. Somewhat at odds with this philosophy, attracted by the opportunities that the freshly opened photographic prae market offered, he planned to make his still lifes in 3 copies until 1985, although it was only in the case of his more sought-after works that he consistently held himself to this plan. Even with works created in a single copy, he used the same mode of numbering: 3/1. The only exception to this was the 5 copies of Still Lifes No.X , for Master Chardin). From 198587 on, he created his photographic works only in single copies. Indeed, it would have made sense to indicate the copy numbers in our captions, to show which of the pictures served as basis for reproduction in this book, considering that Fejr does not use any mechanical device in coloring his pictures and that they were not created at the same time. The reason why we omitted these numbers is simply the lack of precedence. As to the question of what would be the ideal size for his pictures, he eventually came to the conclusion and established a practice that the best size is one that does not extend the average reading distance, where the aura of the picture and the viewer can meet. He did the laboratory work for his negatives and positives with chemical combinations of his own making. With a few, experimental exceptions, he used the baritetreated flat cardboards (BN10) and flat Dobukrom papers of the one-time Forte factory. He tinted his pictures with

The Photo Art Gallery in Vci Street, Budapest 2. the Arts Gallery of Szentendre 3. the Sos Photo Art Dealership in Budapest. 13 of his works have been purchased by the National Media Museum in Bradford, UK. Many of his pictures have found their way from exhibition fairs (arranged by the Ministry of Culture) and auctions to various collections (see the separate list). He ended the sales of his photographs around 1985, wanting to keep them together, in absence of documentation.
