One of the world’s ground-breaking authorities on pre-Columbian art, Professor Esther Pasztory, speaks to the heart of the American experience in: Out of Budapest: A Hungarian Refugee’s America, Ancient & Modern.
From an immigrant perspective, Pasztory’s memoir is a guide along the way to an appreciation of multicultural qualities as opportunities.
The themes and emotions of her search for the truth of ancient American cultures reflect the dramatic cross-cultural currents of her native Hungary as it emerges from the Austro-Hungarian empire, two world wars and autocracy-interrupted by the Revolution of 1956.
Her escape to the United States launched her lifelong struggle to balance being a “1.5-generation” immigrant and a successful woman in a male-dominated culture.
Previous examples of this dynamic are found in the author’s many publications, like the revolutionary book, Thinking With Things: Toward a New Vision of Art and in her discoveries of life in Teotihuacán.
Esther, a former Columbia Professor Emeritus used to live in Deer Isle, Maine and now resides in California.
