Miklós Radnóti’s first illustrator, Vilmos Túri-Tauber

Abstract

Vilmos Túri-Tauber illustrated Miklós Radnóti’s first book of poetry. The artist was featured in the magazine Kortárs, and a poem by Radnóti, called “Pogány köszöntő,” was published in the December 30th, 1929 issue of the same magazine. Radnóti’s first standalone book of poetry, also titled “Pogány köszöntő,” was released in March 1930 by Kortárs. Some of the poems in the book are accompanied by illustrations by Túri-Tauber, which add an artistic dimension to the interpretation of the poetry.
