Jury verdict

Dóra Balla → Less is more. This book is perfect both in its design and its proportions: it lives and lets live. It doesn’t dominate or oppress the presented content, but has a forceful presence nevertheless – it fills in the blanks and stands in perfect harmony with the pictorial content showcased in the book.   

Anna Bárdi → The design fulfills its function perfectly: it supports the dominance of pictorial content. It was a bold move to design the front of the front cover with no title or other textual element, and it fits the overall design concept.

Ákos Déri → The book hides itself the same way in which Endre Tót was hiding his paintings presented in this catalogue. A solid memorial plaque with sharp edges, radiating a remark­able quietness. 

Bea Istvánkó → Clean, simple, progressive design. The layout completely submits itself to the content while complementing a publication presenting a significant ouvre.        

L2 → The book design is understated, the designer made a step back to let the artworks take center stage. This design attitude is complemented by a similarily elegant and solid typographic competence.

Róza Tekla Szilágyi → The clean, proportionate layout and the almost self-negating professionalism of the designer both contribute to appropriately presenting the new and surprising discovery of Endre Tót’s action paintings. This design decision is emphasised by the carefully chosen details as well as the respectful handling of the material.

László Valuska → The ouvre of Endre Tót defies the constraints of an art album. In designing this book the chief aim was not to create new contexts but, by presenting the photos, paintings, details and pieces of information in an understated manner, to direct the attention to the works themselves – and this is no small feat.
