Béla Czóbel rendered this oil painting, titled "Czóbel Béla Hatvani Cigánysor", with visible brushstrokes and a composition that invites us into the scene. The use of colour, particularly the earth tones, creates a warm yet somewhat melancholic atmosphere. The painting presents a village scene, with a clear emphasis on the structural forms of the buildings. Czóbel employs a distorted perspective, flattening the picture plane and drawing attention to the arrangement of shapes and colours. The brushwork, especially in areas such as the sky and foliage, displays a degree of abstraction, moving away from strict representation towards a more expressive mode. Czóbel's manipulation of perspective and form allows the viewer to engage with the artwork on multiple levels, inviting contemplation of how the artist’s subjective experience shapes our understanding of space and reality. This approach reflects the early twentieth-century art world's broader interest in challenging traditional artistic conventions.
