For twenty years, Fásy has been carrying out work of great cultural value, for which he deserves to be applauded!
I dealt with Ádám Fásy once in my life, even then only indirectly. Blanka invited my daughter to play the cello in his production, and I asked my daughter to appear in a porn film rather than in Ádám Fásy's band. Yes, this is a real cultural Nazi nonsense, but I didn't have the energy to explain at length why you should stay away from the Fásy phenomenon.
And now here's the problem, because Fásy received the Knight's Cross of the Hungarian Order of Merit, and my children, who have grown up in the meantime, look at me questioningly, what are "they" doing up there? I usually understand the reason and meaning of an award, but here I couldn't find the key to deciphering it, so I started looking into what could have happened. It didn't really take much research, it came across quickly.
In addition to his many terrible musical productions, in 2005 Ádám Fásy somehow persuaded the Munkácsy collector Imré Pákh to create a traveling exhibition of the works of the great Hungarian painter. Since then, the Munkácsy exhibition created in this way has been viewed by more than five million people in a number of countries, in 47 cities in Hungary, and Ádám Fásy, as the president of the Munkácsy Foundation, organizes the "traveling circus" with enormous energy to this day. In the past twenty years, the Hermitage's audience in St. Petersburg (one million people saw the exhibition!) could see the pictures just as much as the audience of a Hungarian small town that was not well supplied with culture.
By the way, the award was given to Ádám Fásy "cultural organizer, presenter, president of the Munkácsy Foundation", so the donor indicated exactly in what capacity Ádám Fásy deserved the award - and did not mention Zsülike or the beauty pageant. The only problem is that people are just as superficial as I was in this case: if it's Fásy, then it can only be promiscuity. However, for twenty years Fásy has been carrying out a work of great cultural value, for which he deserves to be applauded! Especially since he does it so quietly that I've never heard of it - and neither have most of the people who read my post.
I can't do anything else, I have to apologize to Ádám Fásy and raise my non-existent hat, wishing him continued good health and persistent work as the organizer of the Munkácsy exhibitions. So it's not such a bad thing if sometimes you break out into a song with Zsülike...
