Watch 1940

"Watch" is a 1940 painting by Slovak artist Cyprián Majerník, created during a turbulent period in Europe. The painting depicts a group of men, likely soldiers or civilians, standing together in a somber setting. Their faces are obscured, highlighting the anonymity and collective experience of wartime. Majerník's style is characterized by simplified forms and muted colors, conveying a sense of foreboding and uncertainty. This piece is a poignant testament to the human cost of conflict, reflecting the artist's own experience living through World War II.
