• The Daytona Beach News-Journal featured Luca Molnar, MFA, assistant professor of Studio Art, and her Hand Art Center co-exhibition “The Beauty of Politics” with renowned modernist painter Oscar Bluemner, in the Feb. 1 story “Stetson University art exhibit displays labor strife from the past and the present.” The story also quoted Katya Kudryavtseva, PhD, assistant professor of Art History. “What interests me the most about history in general is the ways that we tend to learn about it and think about these sort of discrete things that happened long ago, but the patterns themselves repeat seemingly endlessly,” Molnar said.

The West Volusia Beacon featured Molnar in the Feb. 1 story “Stetson art exhibit explores ‘The Beauty of Politics.’ ” The story also quoted Kudryavtseva and Stetson junior art major Natalie Thomas. “Her works are incredibly complex and incredibly layered,” Kudryavtseva said of Molnar. “That is interesting to me as an art historian, that layered approach to painting. Her paintings do have a narrative, but this narrative is far from coherent and prepackaged.”
