A life-size bronze statue of the Hungarian composer Béla Bartók stands right here, in Onslow Square. It’s only a short walk from South Kensington underground station. The statue was built in 2004 to celebrate the Hungarian culture. It depicts the composer in a trilby and overcoat, a stylish image that captures his personality. The same sculptor, Imre Varga, created similar statues of Béla Bartók in various cities, including Brussels, Budapest, and Paris. Béla Bartók is considered one of the most important classical composers of the 20th century. He was deeply influenced by folk music, especially Hungarian folk music, which he collected, studied, and recorded extensively. He fled Hungary in 1940, escaping Nazi persecution, and eventually settled in New York. This remarkable statue in London serves as a lasting tribute to a composer whose music continues to resonate with people around the world.
