Three collages from the late period of Endre Nemes, who drew on his experience of the Central European environment with a broader overlap, show the basic features of his distinct artistic view. These include a rich imagination that draws on an open world view, a sense of the intermingling of various seemingly incompatible stimuli and motifs, and a sense of balanced composition akin to the painters of Group 42 (František Gross, František Hudeček, Bohumír Matal, ...).
