Back in the day – about twenty years ago – when I was at university, one day a gallery held an exhibition in the hall. They brought etchings, which could even be purchased. As I already wrote in the article "Beauty Will Save the World," I love art and am tremendously inspired by it in all its forms. True to myself, I immediately bought several etchings. Of course, back then, in the absence of a credit card, I could only do so by paying the first installment of the purchase price and then paying the rest monthly by checks. I remember how proud I felt about a year and a half later when I paid back the loan I took out for the etchings. Among the purchased images, my favorite became the etching of Saint George Slaying the Dragon by Rékassy Eszter, a very talented Hungarian graphic artist. As soon as I saw it, I felt that the artist had managed to compress a truly profound truth into this frozen moment of battle.
