Back To The 20th Century With Art

Last time when I visited the museum, among the usual surprises, I had an unusual surprise, which most likely was unique as you don't see such paintings every day.

Tibor Boromisza - Triptych - 1912

Not only the style of the painting was surprising, but the size of it as well. The theme is not something I prefer, but appreciate the effort.

Jenő Pászk - Landscape

It's a rough representation of a landscape, but I like it. The golden sky and the texture of the canvas gives it some extra value in my eyes.

Csaba Vilmos Perlrott - Landscape from Baia Mare

I was looking at this painting and was thinking, I like it. It was a bit dark and maybe depressing, so I would not hang it on my wall, but I liked it. Usually dark paintings makes me sad. Seems to be oil.

Aurél Papp - Notre Dame - 1912

This was a lovely one, but unfortunately the light ruined my photo. The Notre Dame cathedral has a special place in my heart and wherever I see it, it brings back some old memories. The cathedral is an important part of Paris and has always been the attraction of artists.

Obviously this painting was finished in 1912, so the surroundings were different back then, but still. Now looking at that yellow light, it reminds me of the fire that happened in 2019. What a shame!

Aurél Papp - Apples - 1912

A simple, minimalist still life and even though I'm not a pink fan (I hate it), I think the painting looked nice.

Ziffer Sándor - Rue de Vaugirard, Interior Courtyard - 1910

When I saw this painting, the first thing that reminded me of was Paris in the 19th - 20th century. Then I looked at the label and saw the street name in French.

The Rue de Vaugirard (Street of Vaugirard) is the longest street inside Paris's former city walls, at 4.3 km (2.7 mi). It spans the 6th and 15th arrondissements. The Senate, housed in the Palais du Luxembourg, is at 15 Rue de Vaugirard.

"Vaugirard" came from an old French noun-and-genitive construction "val Girard" = "vale of Girard" (Latin vallis Girardi), after an Abbé Girard, who owned the land over which the road passes. source

If you haven't been to Paris, you most likely have seen old movies, in which servants and poor people lived at the top floor, in apartments with windows opening towards the internal courtyard. Small, dark a miserable places, noisy and dirty as well.

This place doesn't look like one, but that's what it reminded me of. The painter painted this one from his window. I like it a lot. Those colors are perfect in my opinion and the architecture and the texture of the painting is nice. Would love to have it. Basically a painting for me is about how it makes me feel.

Pericle Capidan - Mother And Child In The Garden

Antonia Csikos - Garden In Baia Mare

István Boldizsár - Landscape From Baia Mare, After The Storm - Late 1920s

This is the classic case I talked about in one of my past art posts, when the frame steals your attention from the painting. Back in those days this kind of frame was very popular, elegant I may say and if you know those times, architecture was also this decorated. Although the light coming from the sky seems a bit forced, I like the painting.

Béla Balla - Summer Afternoon In The Garden - 1934

Martig Bencze - Street From Sighetul Marmatiei

Dimitrie N. Cabadaief - The Courtyard Of The Baia Mare Art Colony - 1920s

What would worth more here? The Painting or the frame?Let's not forget that the frame is 100 years old as well.

Dimitrie N. Cabadaief - Summer Afternoon In Sibiu, Carpenter's Tower

This artist had a particular painting stile. If you look closely, both of the paintings have the same stile, like he touched the canvas with the brush and removed the brush immediately, without dragging it on the canvas. That's the impression it gives me by looking at the paintings.

In conclusion, you have several paintings from the 20th century and look at how different their style is. This is what I love about art. The variety of styles is endless.

The historical context of works of art and their relationship with the past make them even more meaningful. The fact that you notice the details in the paintings and that they evoke nostalgic feelings in you emphasizes the power and timelessness of art. Art continues to affect us today by carrying the traces of the past. This article reminds me of my interest in art and my ties to history. I feel that art is a thought-noticing journey that reminds us of our ties to the past. There is no doubt that the fascinating details in the paintings will impress everyone who is into art. Thank you for such nice and pure art content!

This was a really nice exhibition with exquisite pieces and you're right, if you're into art, you can appreciate the details and see how the artists tried to capture those times and transfer everything on canvas. Thanks for the nice comment.

My favorite is Mother And Child In The Garden and I also like the work of Dimitrie N. Cabadaief.

It is truly wonderful to appreciate such a variety of styles and the common denominator is nature and man. In just one I didn't see nature anywhere hahaha

Regards Erikah ;)

That is a nice one for sure, you have good taste I must admit 😉

Nature is usually everywhere, so there's no artist in those times that doesn't have nature artworks.

Thank you @nanixxx and have a nice weekend 😊

It is different indeed and that's why that type of art is valuable. I think each era has its own style.
