Bača 1932 - 1933

Mikuláš Galanda's "Bača" (1932-1933) is a simple yet striking pencil drawing that exemplifies the artist's minimalist style. The artwork depicts a stylized figure, likely a shepherd, standing against a backdrop of simplified, geometric mountain shapes. The figure's clothing and the mountain shapes are rendered in a series of overlapping lines, emphasizing the artist's interest in form and geometric abstraction. Galanda, a Slovak painter and sculptor, was a prominent figure in the development of modern art in Slovakia, and "Bača" is a testament to his innovative and expressive approach to drawing.
