Still-life on a Table of Horseshoe Form 1934

"Still-life on a Table of Horseshoe Form" is a 1934 painting by Hungarian artist Lajos Vajda. Vajda was known for his distinctive style of still-life painting that incorporated elements of Cubism and Surrealism. The work features a tabletop of a horseshoe shape and is rendered in a limited palette of muted tones, with a strong focus on geometric forms. The composition features a vase, a plate, a fabric, and a pencil, arranged in a seemingly random yet balanced manner. This work exemplifies Vajda's interest in exploring the interplay of objects and space in a minimalist and abstracted manner.
