Such artworks can be seen in MODEM that give or try to give answer to this question, in the topic of messianism and redemption. Works of Picasso, Dalí, Kokoschka, Munch, Andy Warhol, Serrano, Bacon, Redon, Abramovic will be exhibited in Debrecen, but besides the international masterpieces there will be an exciting selection of Hungarian art from Tivadar Csontváry Kosztka to Judit Reigl.
