Bela Adalbert Czobe, Still Life with Book 

Béla Czobel painted this untitled still life with oil on canvas. At first glance, the vibrant colours and thick application of paint draw you into a sensory experience. The composition teeters between representation and abstraction. Notice how the objects—flowers, pots, and a book—dissolve into a field of dynamic brushstrokes. The materiality of the paint itself becomes a focal point, challenging traditional notions of form and space. Czobel's expressionistic style disrupts fixed perspectives, mirroring the broader philosophical shifts of his time. This piece engages with the dismantling of established artistic conventions, embracing a more subjective, emotional mode of expression. The texture invites us to consider the artwork as an event, not merely a representation. It questions how we perceive and assign meaning.
