Czóbel Béla 1940 Dery Tibor 1940

"Czóbel Béla 1940 Dery Tibor," created in 1940 by Hungarian artist Béla Czobel (1883-1976), is a charcoal portrait of Tibor Dery. The piece uses loose and expressive lines to capture the sitter's likeness, emphasizing the subject's strong features and thoughtful expression. The quick strokes and fragmented lines are reminiscent of the Expressionist movement, a style Czobel embraced throughout his career. This portrait offers a glimpse into the artist's approach to portraiture, highlighting the dynamic use of line and the expressive power of charcoal.
