Vajda Lajos Szem Gyökerekkel, 1940, Szén, Papír, 90x126cm 1940

"Vajda Lajos Szem Gyökerekkel" is a 1940 charcoal drawing on paper by Hungarian artist Lajos Vajda, known for his contributions to Surrealism and Expressionism. The artwork, with its abstract, biomorphic forms and dense, expressive lines, embodies the artist's fascination with the subconscious and the exploration of internal landscapes. The central eye motif, surrounded by swirling, tangled shapes, suggests a sense of introspection and the depths of human experience. Vajda's untimely death in 1941 prevented him from fully realizing his artistic potential, leaving a legacy of powerful, expressive works that continue to captivate audiences.
