The SzilaMoore Gallery Welcome to my gallery, it is a pleasure to
share with you these paintings that I enjoy looking at daily! This collection
contains oil paintings by Hungarian Masters of the 19th and early 20th
century, and my works in oil and acrylics over the last forty years. |

Moi |
Welcome
to my Gallery ! My name
is Judit Moore, maiden name Szilasi
Judit. The combination of
these two names gave me the title for my gallery –the SzilaMoore Gallery. I was born in Hungary where, alongside Economics I studied the History of Art and Industrial
Drawing. I have been drawing
and painting all my life, in both
oils and acrylics. My favourite place to visit was the Museum of Fine Arts
in Budapest, and I was proud
to inherit a small
collection of paintings by Hungarian
Old Masters. My marriage
to David Moore gave me the opportunity to leave Cold War communist Hungary, and to visit many countries over the years. During
our sojourn in South Africa (Cape Town 1972-1975) I was inspired by the beauty of
the country, the flora, and particularly
the wild animals. After
returning to Europe we lived in Paris where my only child,
and late son David Jnr was born. I painted
reproductions of Paris landmarks for commissions. From
1978 we returned to England, living in Leamington, then
in 1983 to Pangbourne
on Thames, where
David Jnr was educated (at Pangbourne College). I mostly painted for pleasure but also for some commissions from friends. (like the Violet and Waiting for Justice below, In 2001, and following
David Jnr’s tragic
passing (he was then 23), we returned to Cannes in France where
the beauty of the surounding scenery
was a true inspiration – similarly from our villa above Lake Garda in Gargnano All of these
I’d like to share with you
here. |

Whilst
in South Africa we visited the Kruger Park many
times, and also several private Game Reserves. I found the experience of getting up close to the animals to be both scary and exhilerating at the same time. |

These paintings were inherited from my parents. The Gypsy Girl has an interesting
story attached. There is
a small hole in her left breast
which my parents told me was from
a bullet fired from the pistol of a frustrated Russian officer who had failed
to find any valuable items to pillage. My father, at only
18, had inherited a large
amount of land, properties,
and vineyards
following the death
of his father in the
first World War, and the untimely
death of his mother – a victim of th Spanish Flu Pandemic. In the early 50’s I remember Mum, Dad and myself having to escape during the night in a donkey cart – our having
been tipped off by friendly
villagers, whom he had treated
as a doctor (In the interim
he had studied medicine and become a much loved doctor over the rest of his life), that the Communist cotrolled State secret police were
coming to take him away as a bourgeois. But, to save our lives,
he offered all his estates to the State! |
