Mythologies shows Székely at his imaginative and humorous best at a time when Europe was at its darkest and most pessimistic. In trademark Székely style they show key moments from the Greek myths, all over-the-top sexualised with everyone’s bits engaged and many of them (just in case you missed it) highlighted in red.
The ten plates depict:
Perseus and Andromeda
The Rape of Europa
The Judgement of Paris
Circe’s Magic Arts
Heracles and Omphale
The Fall of Troy
Orpheus Enchants Eurydice
Diana’s Endless Hunt
Flight of Love (Leda and the Swan)
Odysseus’s Voyage to the Underworld
Mythologies was part of the Székely collection belonging to Tony Fekete, which was sold at auction in May 2021.
