Her series of paintings titled Requiem on seven panels in remembrance of dead people and cities (1963) is considered to be a highlight of Lili Ország’s oeuvre. Until now the circumstances of its creation have only slightly been touched upon in art history literature. The artist declared the seven panels of the same year to be intended for an imaginary chapel. However two letters subsisted in her legacy, received from a certain Mr. Robert Frick, a businessman from Feldkirch, Austria. In these the possibility of a mandate to decorate the Heilige Margarethenkapelle, the privately owned chapel of Mr. Frick is raised in connection with a planned renovation. Even though the projected investment and accordingly the mandate were cancelled, the most likely intended place of destination for the paintings was this small 15th century chapel. Seeing that the painter knew it from photographs enclosed in the letters, the location could be considered as source of inspiration through the making of the pictures. Its positioning, size, layout and history can all be linked to the Requiem-series.
The original title of the seven panels – according to the testimony of the artist’s pocket calendars, where she rigorously noted which paintings she worked on each day – used to be „Great White Wall”. The title beginning with requiem – as can be read in his memos – originates from her first collector, Mr. István Rácz. He was the one who lent the Requiem of Gabriel Fauré to the painter by the time the panels were being painted, and the gentle music also turned out to be an inspiring experience. Confronting the picture series with both the requiem as a genre in general and also with Fauré’s Requiem proved to be fruitful interpretatively. Following subject matter references based on titles and leading motives as well as emotional aspects marked by composition, the panels can be set against the themes of a requiem. The tenderness of Fauré’s music is in harmony with Lili Ország’s concept of the ideal church, according to which a church should be free from any ruinous thoughts.
None the less its inspiring role cannot be supported by written sources, it is imperative to compare the paintings with the film sketch Requiem of the poet friend János Pilinszky, written two years earlier. Beside the formal parallelisms of the next to identical palette and the tool kit consciously reduced to the utmost, also mental connotations of the two works are closely related.
Reviewing circumstances of creation, personal relations, potential sources of inspiration – classics of other art forms with similar message – it becomes manifest how Lili Ország’s series fitted in the tissue of the period.
