Horkay, the application of the painting historical element in the picture is a remembrance of an era we are over; over we are the naive relatedness created by perspective, and over we are the picture creating technique that relies on the latter. The application is neither parodistic, nor is an ironic citation, but is an emergence-transparence of a pictorial element of a past era as an item of a set. This set – writings, documents, stamps, painted pictures, etc. – is not else than some accumulated mass of culture and knowledge that surrounds us as a fermenting and evaporating hill of rubbish, of which everyone tries to save something, as allowed by his own fancy and the laceration and destruction degree of the hill itself.

The newest Collages, Photo-Transformations of Horkay, in a certain regard are the continuation of the previously established visual formatting and creating methods. This are not simple extract ions, or not only the verifications of his knowledge to select from the wide tradition of visual art, but a selection for a purpose. In the newest visual theory research there is a higher emphasis on analyzing image anthropology (Hans Belting). Horkay's artworks are directive by that respect. By giving more prominent value to the expression of the implied anthropological substance, to the gesture, to the pose, he does not simply create a more significant work as before, he implies those rudiments (elements) into his statement. The anthropologists, and along them the contemporary DADA is not deterred from the realization, that applying body language and positioning in the visual creativity process has tremendous meaning value. That applies for Horkay's art also. The power and expression of his work comes from the application and combination of the redemption of the meaning, and the statement of gesture, pose and body. Wolffin stated already in 1921, that the vision has explanatory and illustrative features, meaning we do not simply see, we see something by something - by that a vision is able to refer to not only itself, but to assign to a certain relation trough it, which is more than the ordinary sight itself, since we never see only the picture. A picture born by a vision.
