Shapes that are rich in associations with the tombstones returned in her bas-relief textile works in the 1970s, in her graphical reproductions and later in her paintings as well, including Orange-Pink Approach (2000). Throughout her work, “tangled” configurations often appear, emerging from these rounded shapes, expressed at times in a pared-down, minimalist way, and at other times with great passion. Her colours and surfaces are vibrant. Because of the emotional richness, wild and elemental movements of her images, she can also be considered one of the most influential representatives of Hungarian lyrical abstractionism.

In a recent interview with Juliet Bingham in connection with the show of her life’s work at London’s Tate, speaking about the musicality of her latest paintings, and particularly her Bicines, Tricines and Quadricines, she explained: “I call them Bicines, Tricines and Quadricines. They are all related to musical experience. Wooden strips overlapping partly or crossing each other. I painted two or three colours which were contrary to each other, so the dynamic change of the colours happens before your eyes. I would also like to hear them as sounds—harmony or disharmony —to use the work like a score.”
