Vajda Lajos Feszültség 1938 1938

"Feszültség" (Tension) is a 1938 pen-and-ink drawing by Hungarian artist Vajda Lajos. The work depicts a pair of intertwined, abstract forms reminiscent of organic shapes. The dense, hatched lines create a sense of tension and energy, echoing the title of the work. Lajos's short career (he died at age 33) was marked by innovative artistic expression, often employing geometric forms and abstract imagery as seen in this drawing. The simplicity of the black and white drawing and its focus on line and form make it a captivating example of Lajos's signature style.
