Original Toronto Star caption: Klara Bucsanyi. The Minotaur Gallery on Elm Street is a new one, and at the moment features 11, count them, self-portraits by a young Hungarian artist called Klara Bucsanyi (Butchahnee). Her first on-woman exhibition, it is an exercise in range, both in style and achievement. Figurative oils, they've taken less than a month to paint, and one or two look like it. But the best have a lively style, and my main complaint is that the prices for a first show-$150 to $300-are chronically high. Klara is 21, wears a bruised smile, and works in the same studio as Julius Marosan. She keeps herself going by selling two paintings at good prices every month to a dealer who admires her work. And if 11 self-portraits at 21 sound like English writer Beverly Nichols writing his autobiography at the same age, she has the only answer. I wanted to paint people, and I was the only person around. [Incomplete]
