They were interested in using these methods to express feelings. He painted this piece in the wake of the First World War, and you can see how the tension and emotion of that time might have influenced the piece. The boy is sitting in a chair but looks tense. The colors are bright but slightly unsettling. Czóbel's paintings offer insights into the lives of ordinary people and places during a time of intense social transformation.
