Architect Forbát and his Wife 1924

"Architect Forbát and his Wife" is a 1924 painting by Hungarian artist Sándor Bortnyik, a key figure in the Hungarian avant-garde movement. The painting depicts a stylized, geometric interior with a minimalist composition. The figures, portrayed with a flat, almost two-dimensional style, stand apart in separate spaces. The woman, dressed in black, is positioned against a white wall, while the architect, clad in beige, is situated against a green background. The scene, characterized by clean lines and bold colors, reflects the influence of modernism and its emphasis on geometric abstraction and simplified forms. The use of perspective and flatness creates a unique sense of space, emphasizing the architectural and design elements that were central to Bortnyik's artistic vision.
