Samota 1935 - 1944

Arnold Peter Weisz-Kubínčan created this artwork called "Samota" using pastel. The image is dominated by a landscape featuring houses surrounded by vibrant red flowers, set against the backdrop of rolling hills. The houses, simple in form, evoke a sense of shelter and the basic human need for a home. The motif of the house in art echoes through time. From ancient Roman frescoes depicting domestic scenes to medieval illuminated manuscripts showing walled cities, the house represents not just physical space, but also a microcosm of society and personal identity. These symbols resurface throughout art history, carrying the weight of collective memory and transforming to reflect the cultural contexts in which they appear. This image engages us on a deep, subconscious level, touching on primal emotions associated with safety, belonging, and the human desire to create a personal haven. The symbols within art have a cyclical progression that allows them to resurface, evolve, and take on new meanings across historical contexts.
