Those of you who are reading my post have a clue of what kind of cocktail I'll be serving today. Those who don't, are going to find out, if they stick around to read my post.
Today I'm going to select a few interesting and very different artworks for you and share my experience and view about them, so you can share yours after reading my post and also give you the opportunity to select your favorite, or favorites, if you have more. It's a fun game, so let's get the party started.
Dubravko Baumgartner - Red-White-Green
This painting was participating in an exhibition commemorating 200 years since the famous Hungarian poet Sándor Petőfi was born. As I mentioned in my previous posts, the artworks exhibited were connected one way or another to the poet himself, or his work.
This painting is featuring the colors of the Hungarian flag (the poet was Hungarian), which are red, white and green, which is simple, but how do you create something artistic out of it? Well, like this, adding some pattern and texture to it. It's a great idea.
János Réti - My Pegasus
In this case, there's a poem called My Pegasus, in which the poet describes his horse, Not an English horse, not a German horse, but a Hungarian horse he says. Although this illustration would not get a spot on my wall, I'd love to create one. I see it as a bot too colorful and crowded, but would love to try it out.
This photo was taken in November 2023, at the solo exhibition of Alpár Czire, a photographer of exceptional talent. This photo says a lot, if you can read it. It is called guide.
You see two generations, walking hand in hand. Not two consecutive generations, but grandfather and grandson. The railway tracks are almost covered by grass, which means are not in use anymore and nature takes over. Those tracks are from the grandfather's time and he wants to show the railway to his grandson. A walk in space and time. I love it.
Wheel Turning Into Autumn
It was frustrating to deal with reflection, glare and everything working against me, the photo I took is terrible, but I wanted to show you the original, which was a great one. It's not the first photo I see taken from this angle and I hope one nice day I can take a similar one. Not an easy task as chariots are extremely rare this day of age and the ones you see have car wheels, not like this, but hope dies last.
László Hunyadi - The Fisherman
It's a simple, minimalist (if you like) statue, but a very nice one. Maybe its beauty consists in it's simplicity. I love how the sculptor chose to design the boy's body and posture. Lovely.
Form of Life
This was a fantastic stature, very simple, made of threads, but very meaningful. I see life exactly like that. You can hardly ever stay tall, as life always has a lot to throw your way. Those threads are working like chains, holding you tight, unless you work on getting rid of them. It's a fantastic interpretation of the difficulties of life and this type of creativity set the artist apart from the pack.
László Hunyadi - Decorative Figure
You know, some times I'm giving you riddles. This is one of them. I'll let you tell me what you see here, or better yet, what you think you see.
László Hunyadi - Sándor Petőfi
Here he is, the statue of the poet I was talking about at the beginning of my post. The legend who disappeared at the age of 26 and during his short existence on Earth, he left humanity more than 850 poems. Imagine the loss.
Éva Barabás - Dutch Memory
I remember this exhibition like it was yesterday, although it was two years ago. It was a fantastic exhibition, with a lot of masterpieces and I'm glad I came across it and can share this painting with you. At first glance, the painting seems simple, but it's not. The detailed face expressions, the colors and the theme of the painting makes it fantastic. Although I knew none of the artist's paintings were for my pocket, I remember I asked about the prices and as expected, these were directly proportional with the talent of the artist. Maybe one day I'm going to be able to afford to buy one.
