They learned of the opportunity from \u00c1rp\u00e1d Juh\u00e1sz, one of the founding members of the G\u00f6d\u00f6ll\u0151 artist colony, who had previously taught them the basics of drawing in Zombor. Vilma Frey qualified as a teacher but could not find a suitable position near her home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-GB\">Vilma Frey&#8217;s sisters were also closely connected to the G\u00f6d\u00f6ll\u0151 artist colony. R\u00f3zsa was the head of the G\u00f6d\u00f6ll\u0151 weaving workshop between 1906 and 1919. Their sister Erzs\u00e9bet also came to G\u00f6d\u00f6ll\u0151, where she worked in the weaving workshop and was also involved in agriculture. Their older sister, Ella, was married and did not settle in G\u00f6d\u00f6ll\u0151, but photographs and paintings show that she visited the town frequently. Her home in H\u00f3ds\u00e1g was always open to artists from G\u00f6d\u00f6ll\u0151.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-GB\">After learning the basics of weaving, Vilma Frey, with the support of Alad\u00e1r K\u00f6r\u00f6sf\u0151i-Kriesch, was awarded a scholarship to attend the School of Applied Arts, where she studied workshop drawing. According to exhibition catalogues from that time, she contributed a large number of her own tapestry designs to the weaving workshop&#8217;s collection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-GB\">In 1912, she married the young artist Jen\u0151 Remsey. For their honeymoon, they went to Dachau, where they visited the art colony that had been active there from 1890 until the outbreak of World War I, and where Vilma Frey also created works. She gave birth to her first child, \u00c1gnes Remsey, in the spring of 1914 at her sister Ella\u2019s home in H\u00f3ds\u00e1g, where she spent most of her pregnancy. It was here that she painted one of her most beautiful watercolours, titled *The Rosebush* Rr\u00f3zsat\u0151). Her sons Iv\u00e1n (born in 1921), G\u00e1bor (born in 1925), and Andr\u00e1s (born in 1929) were all born later. All of her children became artists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-GB\">Her descendants, relatives, and friends, who remain closely united to this day, fondly remember Vilma Frey.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">Cec\u00edlia Nagy \u0150rin\u00e9<br \/>\n<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">art historian<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"menu_order":2,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-62","artist","type-artist","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/remsey.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist\/62","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/remsey.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/remsey.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artist"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/remsey.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
