Abstract
Dóra Maurer has taught at several institutions from 1975. In the paper I discuss her work at the Painting Department of the Hungarian University of Fine Arts from 1990. I examine the peculiarities of her teaching method: what she declared to be the task of a leading lecturer, what could be and should be taught in her opinion; what relations she had with her students; how she tried to support her former students to find their footing as artists after graduation.
To understand the significance and novelty of Maurer's activity, I outline the historical situation in which she began work at the Academy and touch briefly on the pedagogical work going on at the institution, on the international pedagogical practice and the discourse about art education
