Hello Darwinek, Many of the sources refer to the Nagybánya artists' colony as an important Hungarian artists' colony. But I can't figure out when it was part of Hungary. I am ignorant about the political geography of this part if the world. It looks to me like it was in Transylvania and then became part of Romania. You had made an edit in the category for a Hungarian painter Kata Kalivoda, so I thought maybe you could shed some light on how/when this was part of Hungary. Thanks for any assistance. Best, WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 19:47, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@WomenArtistUpdates:, thanks for reaching out. The city of Nagybánya (Baia Mare in Romanian) was a part of Austria-Hungary until the end of World War I. More specifically, the territory was given to Romania in 1920, and stayed there for the whole interwar period, until 1940. An important thing to note here is, that the whole territory (including Nagybánya) was and still is inhabited by a sizeable Hungarian minority in Romania. Hope this helps.--Darwinek (talk) 23:56, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Darwinek! I changed the wording of the first sentence to "art colony in Nagybánya in the Transylvania region of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (now Baia Mare, Romania). From what you write and reading about Transylvania this particular artists colony was never part of the country Hungary. That was only briefly from 1940 to 1944 after the colony had dissolved. But ethnically it is Hungarian. Do I understand that correctly? Thanks again WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 00:33, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That is correct. :) - Darwinek (talk) 00:35, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
